Intern for Academic Credit

Internship credit options

OPTION 1: Credit arranged through World Endeavors

Through our collaboration with Hartwick College, World Endeavors interns can earn credits through a field course — INTR 395: World Endeavors International Internship or World Endeavors Virtual Internship.

Interns are expected to draw from their internship field experience to engage in reflections and actively participate in group discussions, whether in person or virtually. Interns will complete a self-assessment of their workstyle at the beginning of the internship and use a reflection tool to compare their style to common workstyles in their host country’s culture(s). Interns will also complete a reentry self-evaluation to identify areas of personal growth and professional skills gained during the internship and practice articulating how these skills transfer into a professional setting.

Credit Schedule Overview

The course schedule will be determined by the length of the internship and the number of hours worked.

An additional fee will be applied to the total program cost based on the number of credits intended to be gained

3 credit hours = 120 internship hours: $890
4 credit hours = 160 internship hours: $1,090
5 credit hours = 200 internship hours: $1,290
6 credit hours = 240 internship hours: $1,490

OPTION 2: Credit arranged through your home institution

Many students are able to arrange credit for their international internship through their home institution. If you are a required by your academic program to complete a practical experience, internship, service or volunteer experience, or work placement, World Endeavors Advisors will work with you and your faculty advisor to ensure your internship placement fulfills your requirements for internship credit.

Depending on your institutional requirements, you may be required to fulfill a certain number of contact hours, receive supervisor evaluations, submit regular journal entries, complete a report, or complete other requirements specific to your course of study.

As long as the specific requirements are communicated to us as early as possible in the application process we will ensure that the internship we place you in will meet those requirements.

Contact your study abroad office or academic advisor to see if this option is available at your university!
