Q: Do I need to be a UW student to participate in an IE3 internship?

Q: Will I receive UW credit for my internship?
A: Yes; one option is to apply for General Studies 350F (GEN ST 350F) credit through the Carlson Leadership and Public Service Center. GEN ST 350F is graded Cr/NC and there is a maximum of 18 credits you can earn. Each credit requires 30 hours of work and approximately 2 pages of an analytical paper or project. You may also choose to earn credit through another academic department, perhaps within your major.

Additional Terms = $3650
