Students earn credit for the academic project produced using the internship experience as a major informational resource. A Carlson Center associate will register you. However, students my call STAR to confirm their registration. Registration deadlines for GEN ST 350 are the same as for other courses. The deadline to turn in the forms is the end of the third week of the quarter.
Students can receive a variable number of credits per quarter.
Based upon the amount of fieldwork, students can earn 1-6 credits per quarter, with the general guideline of 3 hours of fieldwork equalling one credit. Students can earn up to 6 credits per quarter to a maximum total of 18 GEN ST 350 credits across several quarters. In addition, students can earn a maximum of 12 credits at the same site, although not in the same quarter. For example, if you are a freshman looking to do an internship with a radio station, you might try to connect with a professor in the Communication School to be your academic sponsor. Or try a professor in another discipline who knows you or whose lectures you ve enjoyed.
