The Economics
Department does not offer academic credit for
internships. However, it is possible for student
interns to incorporate ideas from their field
experience as part of an independent research
proposal under Economics 199. A 199 research
proposal form may be obtained from the departmental
advisor, and then completed and signed by an
appropriate faculty sponsor for 4 units. Students
must also have upper division standing and a
3.0 GPA for the previous three quarters. A non-credit,
Certificate of Completion for 100 hours of internship
experience is also possible through Career Services.
