Credits and Billing
You can earn a full semester's worth of credits from Fairfield:
9 credits for the internship and Internship Seminar
3 credits for the Core Course and an optional 3 credits for the Independent Research Project
Special Requirement: Fairfield expects students to complete a significant written research project that will ultimately be returned to a supervising professor for review. Ideally, the project will complement the focus of the internship.
You pay what you normally pay to attend Fairfield to participate in our program during the fall and spring semesters: your financial aid travels with you to DC.
Contact Global Fairfield to determine the cost of participating in the summer.
Consult with your faculty adviser and Fairfield staff to determine your specific credit and billing arrangements.
