This is ultimately up to professors and your babyÖ±²¥app supervisor. Generally, if your internship meets these three requirements, then, yes, it could count for credit:   

• Your internship or job duties relate directly to your major.
• You are being supervised by someone with significant industry experience who is willing to train/mentor/teach you.
• You can get at least 50 hours/credit. For details on hours worked per credit hour, see Question 8.

Note: It is important for students to know that the final decision is up to your babyÖ±²¥app supervisor.

Please note graduate students are not able to serve as babyÖ±²¥app advisors. You must select a full-time babyÖ±²¥app member.
We suggest selecting a professor with whom you have previously taken a class and enjoyed the experience, or someone currently teaching a class you are enrolled in. If you are unfamiliar with any of the professors on the list, don't worry! Take some time to read through their bios and identify the one who appears to be the best fit for you. Contact them directly via email with your request.

Currently, only Journalism and Media Studies undergraduate students are required to complete 3 internship credits to graduate. JRNL 4931 and MDST 4931 are required.

Master’s students are not required to intern to graduate but do have the option to do an internship for credit.

JRNL 5931 (optional internship credit for master's students) fulfills one capstone requirement.

MDST 5931 and COMM 5930 are optional for master’s students. See your babyÖ±²¥app advisor.

You must complete 50 hours per internship credit. Internship credit is given to students based on the number of hours worked. Intern hours must be completed during the semester in which the student is receiving credit.

For all majors:

• 50 hours per semester = 1 credit hour earned
• 100 hours per semester = 2 credit hours earned
• 150 hours per semester = 3 credit hours earned

Note: There is a 3 credit hour maximum per semester and a 6 credit hour maximum per summer.

Enrollment in an internship course might impact your tuition, and it is expected that students contact the Bursar's Office to understand how this addition will affect their personal tuition situation. The internship course is offered as an in-person Main Campus course in the Fall and Spring semesters and as a Special Programs course during the Summer semester. Once students are enrolled in the internship course, they will be unable to drop without penalty.

Yes! Students often think it is "one or the other", but it's perfectly fine to have both.

International students with F-1 status, if they want to do an internship off campus, they need to apply for work authorization – Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Pre-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) and get it approved before they start working, working without work authorization off-campus will jeopardize their immigration status and we must terminate their F-1 record and they will be advised to leave the country.

If an international student wants to do an internship off campus and wants to take the internship course for credits, they must apply for the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) work authorization. You can find more detailed information on the CPT website.

For more information regarding CPT or OPT, visit the ISSS Office.
