However, workers participating in LERC programs can arrange for academic credit when certain conditions are met. Students earn 4 credits each term of the internship. Students may be eligible to participate in field studies or special seminars through the center. The center's faculty members work with a student to determine how a LERC course fits into his or her academic program. LERC faculty members are available to students for consultation related to the center's interest areas.
More information is available from the center.
