International and Domestic Internship Programs

International internship programs are encouraged, but must meet Off-Campus Study requirements and conform to Off-campus Study and Colby College policies in order to earn academic credit. In addition to general policies, internship programs must include a non-paid internship with considerable academic work done in tandem and not to exceed 4 credit hours.  The internship should be done as part of a study abroad program that is predominantly credited in terms of the courses taken.  Typical models consist of 16 credits with the internship counting for 4 credits and three other courses counting for 4 credits each).  

Please consult with OCS if you are interested in choosing an internship program abroad to assure that it will meet these requirements and that you will receive credit.

For other types of international or domestic internships for transcript notation or JanPlan credit please see Career Services.
