How are internships approved by the department?

The Department of Economics offers Individual Study in Economics. Students may be able to combine this academic experience with an internship taken outside the Department. Naturally, the Individual Study comes under the control of the Department (and its faculty). Therefore, students must discuss the prospect of obtaining credit for an internship with the faculty of the Department.

If an experience is not deemed eligible for credit to be awarded, students may engage in that experience for career development purposes only and either volunteer or accept pay for their work. If the employer requires that credit be given, then the student can not accept the internship unless the Department deems it credit-bearing. The Career Development Center maintains volunteer and paid internships in a password protected area of the Center's web site called eRecruiting. Students must attend a eRecruiting Activation Meeting to access these internship listings.
