Internship and Apprenticeship

Internships and Apprenticeships

Are you looking to get real-world experience in your field while building your résumé? Look no further! Internship and apprenticeships allow you to get academic credit while learning what working in your field is actually like. Whether you want to explore teaching, business, or public service, there is an opportunity for you! You can take any class from the approved course list below to automatically satisfy the experiential learning requirement. Other options for fulfilling the requirement within the Internship and Apprenticeship track include the following:

CAT 90: Fall quarter offerings only.

Access List

To get involved in internship and apprenticeship, check out the following opportunities and resources:

Updated Approved Course List

An updated approved course list is effective as of Fall 2024. The previous approved course list was only effective through Summer 2024. To minimize any impacts to long-term planning, students who entered the university prior to Fall 2024 can write into the Virtual Advising Center to request an exception to this change.

Once you've enrolled in a class from the previous approved course list, you can send a message asking to have it applied to your experiential learning requirement and your degree audit will be manually updated. Again, please note that you must wait until you've registered for the previously approved course to submit this request.

Course Proposal

If you have an experiential learning class in mind but don't see it on the approved course list, you can propose it for review by submitting a course proposal before the deadline specified for the category of that course. Classes eligible to be proposed will fall under one of three categories: study abroad coursework, special study 198 or 199 courses, and other UC San Diego classes.
