Internship Resources
Steps to request academic credit for an internship
- Secure an internship. Use Handshake to search or find one on your own.
- Submit an Application for Academic Credit in Handshake. The faculty member running your course will be sent your application for their approval.
- Register for the 499 or 690 internship course within your major. The PDE and CDE do not require initial registration. A registration code will be emailed to you. (View Class Terms & Requirements)
