Getting Credit

The Economics Department policy is that students may apply to get credit ONLY if the internship provider requires it, if the student needs credit to fulfill international visa requirements, or if the student's source of funding requires the student to receive credit. Furthermore, students who take the Econ 199R course may only earn 0.5 credit hours.

IF you fit the requirements above, please contact the Economics Department's internship coordinator, Olga McCallson (alumni-economics@byu.edu) and complete the instructions below to enroll in the course:
