Internships for Credit
An internship for credit combines academic coursework with relevant work experience.
After securing an internship, students must complete and submit the required paperwork to their assigned advisor to get registered for the internship course.
As part of the internship-for-credit paperwork, the employer needs to explain the role and responsibilities of the intern at the sponsoring company.
Below is some information about the requirements to have an internship count as a credit in the Woody L. Hunt College of Business.
You may request the internship-for-credit paperwork with your corresponding advisor in BUSN 104.
