Experience-Based Education

Experience-Based Education offers summer internships for credit.  Students can intern while they are home for the summer or spend the summer in a major metropolitan area.  Summer credit must be paid for at the current per credit tuition rate.  If you plan to earn credit for a summer internship, please visit our office during your spring semester to attend a workshop, begin your internship search and pick up  your learning agreement packet. 

Summer interns are required to complete a Learning Agreement if they would like to receive academic credit.  The same learning agreement is used for 398/498 level internships and GST 303 in the summer.  Completed learning agreements for summer credit are due in the Office of Experience-Based Education by June 30.  Summer internships are billed by the credit hour and payment is typically due the first week in July.

Request a Learning Agreement for Summer - A learning agreement will be emailed to you, the deadline for submitting your learning agreement to earn summer credit is JUNE 30.

Some competitive summer internships and those that offer pay have application deadlines as early as the fall, so an early start is highly recommended.

Registration for summer internships takes place during fourth session and can not be completed online. Once we receive your completed learning agreement, EBE will register you for credit and send you instructions for making your summer tuition payment.

Current tuition rates can be found here.

Important Final Grading Information for Summer Internships:

The deadline for our office to submit final grades for summer internships is in mid-August.  Some students have not yet completed their internships by this initial deadline.  If your internship extends beyond the summer grading deadline or you have not submitted copies of your academic assignments and time sheets to our office by mid-August, you will be assigned a TEMPORARY Incomplete as your final grade.  Once you have completed your internship or submitted your required assignments your Incomplete will be erased and replaced with your actual final grade.  A temporary incomplete disappears completely from your transcript once you fulfill your internship requirements.
