present their scholarly/creative work. Renewable graduate research
grants of up to $1000 are also available for research relating to
the Master's degree thesis. Both graduate travel and research funds
are available on a competitive basis.
Publishing and Editing Experience
for Graduate Students
Our graduate students are also
able to gain significant editing and publishing experience through
work on the editorial staff of one or more of the journals supported
by the English Department at Western.
The Bellingham
Review is a nationally recognized journal that has recently
published creative writing by such authors as Charles Wright and
Gary Soto, among others. Jeopardy is a creative writing
magazine entirely student funded, edited, and produced.
Technical Writing Internship
Opportunities
Our program also provides some
opportunity for graduate students to develop technical writing skills.
We have established two quarterly internship programs with local
technical writing companies. In the past, graduate students completing
the internships have enjoyed a 100% placement rate in full-time
positions as technical writers.
