Securing Academic Credit

Securing academic credit from the University of Michigan for your internship experience can be difficult. While not impossible, you will need to plan in advance and allow time to put the pieces together. Typically, students have the most success receiving academic credit from their major department or through an independent study with a faculty member with whom they are familiar. There are limited options for students who are undeclared or wish to participate in an internship that is not directly related to their declared major. If you have any concerns or wish to discuss your individual situation, contact the Career Center at 734-764-7460.
