484 Internship for credit course

You can earn anywhere from 1-9 hours of elective credit for one specific internship experience, and up to 12 hours of elective credit for internship experiences, by enrolling in and completing some academic assignments while working at an approved internship site. Course assignments will include journal reflections that relate course work to your experience, and the number of credits you can earn depends on the number of hours spent at an approved internship site. 

Requisites for 484 course

  • Students are able to use almost any internship to qualify for 484 credit. 
  • There is no specific list of placements students must choose from to obtain credit, but the internship should relate to your degree in some meaningful way.
  • As long as this internship is a new experience that you have begun recently and not something that you have been working on for years as part of a current job, then we are always open to discussing providing elective internship credit for students. 
  • In order to receive credit, you must be enrolled in an internship course and all hours completed must be completed within the semester dates. 
  • Other stipulations are that you may not have any relation to your site supervisor, to the organization’s owner, or any other conflict of interest. 
  • In the event the student needs to enroll into the next semester the student is allowed to be in their internship a certain amount prior to the semester starting, please contact the internship coordinator at cisainternship@asu.edu to see if you qualify.

Internship application requirements

To apply for your internship, we need ALL three of the following documents:

  2. A copy of your resume
  3. The internship site must also complete the Student Placement Agreement
