Internships For Credit

The Grossman School of Business offers an internship course to allow students to earn elective credit for their internship. Here are critical points to understand when seeking internship for credit:

• Credit can only be given for internship work completed during the semester.
• You must enroll in an internship course before you can count internship work hours toward your credits.
• Internships can only be utilized for elective credit. They cannot count toward major requirements (i.e. core, field, concentration, or theme courses).
• You will need to have an internship supervisor at your work site who can verify your employment and provide midterm and final evaluations during the semester.
• Grossman students can receive up to 6 credit hours of internship credit, with a 3-credit limit per semester.

It is crucial to consult with your academic advisor about internship credit to understand how credit would fit in with your graduation plan. The number of credits earned depends on how much academic work you complete and how much time you spend working at your internship (45 hours of work during the semester = 1 academic credit) credits total towards their 120 credit-hour graduation requirement.

Note that getting paid and receiving credit have no bearing on one another. Some students earn both credit and payment, some students earn neither, and some students receive only credit or payment.
