Department of Economics Internship Policy

The Department of Economics offers Individual Study in Economics (220:499). In some cases, students may be able to combine this academic experience with an internship taken for up to 3 elective credits towards the economics major. Under no circumstances will internship credit be given for normal work duties performed in pre-existing employment. Students should consult the Career Development Center for a current list of potential internships. However, since individual study comes under the control of the Economics faculty, students must also discuss the prospects of obtaining credit for a particular internship with the Economics Department chairperson.
