How many credits can I earn?

A total of 12 credits of internship units may be applied to your Chapman degree. The maximum number of internship credits a student may carry during a semester or term is six credits (two 3-credit internships).

You must work the following number of hours to receive the corresponding units of credit:



Internship
40 hours = 1 credit	80 hours = 2 credits	120 hours = 3 credits


Students may complete up to 12 units of internship credit to apply to a bachelor degree.  Students may enroll for three credits per semester and per employer, and no more than two terms or six total credits from the same employer.

If a student wishes to continue for a second term with the same employer, she/he, the faculty internship advisor, and the employer must develop new and/or enhanced learning objectives and plans of study.

Not all jobs qualify for internship credit.  The internship must be at a work site that offers a real opportunity for the student to learn, grow, and advance in his/her field.  Whether or not a position is acceptable as an internship is at the discretion of the faculty internship advisor with advisement from the Internship Coordinator.  Students should not receive academic credit for their regular employment.

Retroactive credit is not granted. Credit is only awarded for the term in which the work is performed, so students must complete the work during the semester for which they are enrolled.
