Did you know you can receive academic credit for your internship?
Students can earn course credit and fulfill their second-tier service-learning graduation requirement by participating in internships. Some departments offer academic credit alongside the 2nd tier public service requirement for completing a single internship. A list of participating departments and requirements can be found here. If your department is not listed, contact the Tulane Center for Public Service, and they may be able to help. Many departments offer independent study, capstone, and elective credit for internships. Consult your individual department for more information. Contact cpsinternships@tulane.edu for more information.
Individual departments will have specific policies and nuances in evaluating academic credit as it relates to internship opportunities. Students should plan to consult with their individual schools' for information on internships for academic credit within a major or degree program and for policies regarding limitations on internship credit.
A one-credit internship, INTR 1990, is available to students who are seeking opportunities with organizations that require interns to receive credit for their experience. INTR 1990 credit applies toward the degree but does not apply to any specific degree requirements. This course is offered only on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis and counts within the credit limit for S/U courses. It may be taken more than once but will count as credit toward the degree only once. Before registering, students must apply for this internship course with Adam McKeown.
