Undergraduate Credit-Bearing Internships

What is an Academic, Credit-Bearing Internship?

As one approach of experiential education, credit-bearing internships support the University’s mission of providing diverse, dynamic, and meaningful experiences to inspire learners to grow both intellectually and personally; enabling them to contribute positively to local and global communities.  Millersville University recognizes that credit-bearing internship experiences are a valuable part of education, allowing students to engage in a professional experience at an organization with supervision and mentorship from both faculty and employers while developing new skills and learning about a field or industry that complements classroom learning.  The opportunity to apply theory to practice is treated like any other academic course where students may earn credit toward graduation.
