INTERN 496R and INTERN 497R

INTERN 496R and INTERN 497R are online courses offered in the fall, spring, and summer through the Pathways Center and are open to Emory undergraduates pursuing an internship, research, or applied arts opportunity. These courses are designed to enhance each student’s experiential learning while also advancing their level of career discernment and college-to-career preparedness.

Both courses can be taken for either zero or one credit. In the fall and spring, the one-credit option is standard and will not result in additional charges for full-time students. In the summer, the zero-credit option is standard and will not result in tuition or fee charges.

Course Options

This remote S/U course focuses on reflection, relationship building, and professional skill development. To be eligible during the fall and spring terms, students must secure an experience that is at least 120 hours in duration. During the summer term, the experience must be at least 8 weeks and 240 hours. Successful completion of INTERN 496R, Pathways XA Internship course, satisfies the Experience and Application (XA) General Education Requirement (GER).

The repeatable course can also qualify a student for an unpaid internship and/or Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Recipients of Pathways summer funding will automatically be enrolled in the zero-credit version of the course.

If a student’s experience does not meet the duration requirement, please refer to INTERN 497R: Pathways Internship course.

This course is identical to INTERN 496R but does not satisfy the Experience and Application (XA) General Education Requirement (GER). This repeatable course can qualify a student for an unpaid internship and/or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) if their experience does not meet the duration requirement of INTERN 496 Pathways XA Internship (120 hours in the fall and spring; 8 weeks and 240 hours in the summer).
