Setting up an internship for credit:

• If you want academic credit for your internship, you will need to obtain a faculty sponsor from your major or minor department.
• You and your faculty sponsor will complete the appropriate paperwork.
• To be eligible for credit, the internship must relate to your academic major or minor.
• Some departments have additional criteria that students must meet to be eligible for internship credit.
• Academic credit internships generally begin and end on the semester schedule.
• Just like a class, you will sign up for your internship through The Registrar's Office and pay for the credit hours earned.

If you click on the 'Earning Academic Credit for your Internship Experience' it will take you to a proposal outline that you can adapt and use when approaching potential faculty sponsors to seek their guidance and approval for academic credit.  Be prepared to answer their questions, especially when asked what your learning goals are and how the particular internship experience relates to your major area of study.
