Internship for Credit

Internship for Credit is an opportunity for students to receive credit for an internship. Internship for Credit is a good fit for students who need credit in order to complete a specific internship and students who need to meet a certain credit requirement (ex. Accounting students interested in obtaining a CPA license). If a student is unsure if Internship for Credit is a good fit, the student is encouraged to meet with an academic advisor. Along with completing an internship, students must complete relevant assignments with a selected faculty advisor. All assignments must be completed in order to receive final credit for the internship. Students should also be aware of the cost associated with Internship for Credit for students enrolled for less than 12 credits or more than 18 credits.
