All internships (both non/0-credit and for-credit) require additional registration processes and are not registered in Eagle Service. Non-credit internships are used solely to fulfill the Professional Experience requirement. Internships for academic credit can fulfill the Professional Experience requirement and may be counted towards academic program requirements (e.g. elective). All students registering internships for academic credit are required to participate in an online internship course.

Registration deadlines are listed on the University Academic Calendar and are also sent to students in the Graduate Advising weekly bulletin. Tuition charged for for-credit internships is the same as the normal tuition rate. There is no cost for non-credit internships.
