Academic Credit. How to Earn it, & Why it Helps

Earning academic credit during an overseas internship is possible for many students. Earning academic credit allows you to gain practical experience in your chosen field while also earning credit towards your degree. The process and requirements for earning academic credit will vary depending on your institution and program. We are happy to work with you to determine your individual eligibility and requirements, and help with any documentation that needs to be completed.

Here are some general guidelines to assist in the process:

Check with your Academic Advisor

Your academic advisor can help you determine whether your institution offers academic credit for internships and what the requirements are.

Ensure the Internship meets Academic Requirements

Your institution may require that the internship meet certain academic requirements, such as completing a set number of hours or completing specific assignments. Make sure to discuss these requirements with your academic advisor and keep us aware of these as early as possible during the process so that we can build these into your internship.

Complete the Necessary Paperwork

You may need to complete paperwork to receive academic credit for your internship. This may include registration forms, learning objectives, and evaluations. We will work with you to determine exactly what is required, and ensure that documents are completed and returned in good time.

Keep a Record of Your Work

It’s important to keep a record of your work during the internship, such as a log of your hours, samples of your work, and any feedback or evaluations you receive. This will help you document your learning and provide evidence of your work to your academic institution when you return.

Earning academic credit for an internship can be a valuable way to gain practical experience while also progressing towards your degree.
