Want to Earn Credit for Your Internship?

You can earn 1 credit by taking CLA 3896: Internship Reflection: Making Meaning of Your Experience. Internship credit does not count for any major requirements but the credit counts toward overall degree credits.  

If you register for CLA 3896, you will be connected with a Hubbard School faculty mentor who can help you with industry-specific questions and goals for your internship. If your internship is unpaid, be sure to apply for the CLA internship scholarship.
