Internships can carry academic credit if pre-approved and can be paid or unpaid. In order to receive credit for an internship, you must:

Internship Process

The basic process is:

  • meet with respective faculty course advisor 
  • decide on desired objectives 
  • determine possible sponsors 
  • interview 
  • agree with sponsor on learning objectives 
  • sign all contracts 
  • bring documentation to be registered 
  • begin journal 
  • employer will be contacted for evaluation of your work habits/abilities 
  • complete projects 
  • turn in project for grading.

Typically, an internship course requires a journal, reflective paper and portfolio. Your respective Intern Faculty Advisor will discuss learning objectives and course requirements with you. Reflection on your experience will illuminate your strengths and weaknesses. You will have the opportunity to capitalize on your strengths, and improve on your weaknesses before you leave Radford.

You will not be registered for the class until all paperwork is signed and approved. If your internship is unpaid, you cannot begin work until all paperwork is signed.

The Davis College of Business and Economics does NOT give internship course credit for work and or experiences you have already gained. You must discuss learning objectives with the course faculty advisor prior to accepting a position for course credit.
