The Academic Internship Program allows you to earn academic credit for your internship experience at the associate (EXPRL 191/2/3) and bachelor’s (EXPRL 490/1) level.
You can only register for the class if you have secured an internship offer and it has been approved by the Internship Coordinator and program chair for the bachelor’s program.
The internship class (EXPRL 191/2/3) at the associates level is a variable credit class that offers 1-5 academic credits depending on the total number of hours worked:
1 credit = 50 hour
2 credits = 100 hours
3 credits = 150 hours
4 credits = 200 hours
5 credits = 250 hours
The internship class (EXPRL 490/491) at the bachelor’s level is a 5-credit class, and depending on the program’s requirements, you may be required to complete 10 total credits.
This class is designed as an independent work experience arranged with an employer around your class schedule. Students do not meet in a classroom setting.
Students apply what they have learned in their classes, preparing them for employment and continuing education.
As part of your internship, students must complete structured assignments to help them reflect on their internship experience.
This is a Graded Course with Asynchronous Assignments.
There is a one-time liability insurance fee of $14 added to this class.
