Apply for Internship Credit
Internship for Credit
Earning Academic Credit for Internships
In the College of Business, we offer our business majors, minors, and economics students the opportunity to earn credit for their internships!
To receive credit, students are required to complete the internship at the same time as the corresponding internship-for-credit class coursework. Please note if you decide to take the summer class and defer your grade to the fall semester, you are still responsible for completing the required coursework in the summer during your internship!
Available Credit (must meet prerequisite requirements)
Steps Prior to Applying for Credit
- You must be pursuing a business major or minor
- Check with academic advisor on class credit hours
- Read and understand the criteria in the Internship Handbook
- Formally accept your internship offer from the employer (internship and coursework are completed concurrently)
