What are the requirements of for-credit internships?
Students decide whether they want to receive academic credit for an internship arrangement. If they pursue academic credit, they are required to locate a faculty sponsor. Their sponsor monitors their work, checks on their progress, assigns homework and issues a grade. There is no administrative work for employers regarding student academic credit. However, the faculty sponsor may ask the supervisor to fill out an evaluation form or participate in an informal discussion about the student’s performance. Students with questions about credit procedures and requirements should be referred to their sponsoring faculty member. Periodically, sponsoring faculty will visit or phone employers to see how their intern is progressing.
