CISA Elective Internship Options
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.
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.
We can offer the following credit hours for hours obtained at an internship site:
| Credit Hours | Total Internship Hours |
|---|---|
| 1 credit | 45 hours |
| 2 credit | 90 hours |
| 3 credit | 135 hours |
| 4 credit | 180 hours |
| 5 credit | 225 hours |
| 6 credit | 270 hours |
| 7 credit | 315 hours |
| 8 credit | 360 hours |
| 9 credit | 405 hours |
| 10 credit | 450 hours |
