While the Career Development Center coordinates the approval process for credit-bearing internships, we do not make decisions about what can and cannot be done for academic credit. That decision falls to the departmental internship coordinator (DIC) in your major.

Please note, the faculty members on this page work with students doing internships for credit via the 499 or 690 internship course within their major.

The instructor for the 1-credit courses (PDE 100, CDE 100) is Erin Fitzgerald.
