There are no non-credit internships. Unless special permission is granted, six credits is the maximum number allowed for an internship. Placements through the Washington Center, Harrisburg Capital Semester, U.S. Department of State, and others, are exceptions. Credits may be applied to the student's major, minor, or free elective program. The student and chairperson of the department make this determination.
All internships receive a grade at the conclusion of the placement.
The grade is a reflection of the student's performance at the site as well as the completion of academic requirements associated with the experiential learning process.
