• Thinking of offering credit for your unpaid internship? Think Again. Many of our employers can't pay their interns but would like to offer them something, so they indicate that the internship is for credit. The reality is that employers can't give credit for their internships, only Boston College can issue academic credit and for some majors it is very difficult, especially for our business majors. Please keep in mind that if you mandate credit, you may lose some valuable candidates. You may wish to consider a travel reimbursement or perks of some sort instead.
