Undergraduate Current Students | Internship Credit

Internships are a wonderful complement to classroom learning and can be a valuable part of your education, especially with all of the exciting opportunities offered in New York City. As such, NYU Stern offers the Business Practicum course, which allows you to earn credit as a compliment to your internship experience.

Please note: if you are an international student, you must obtain work authorization to complete an off-campus internship. We strongly encourage you to review updated guidance, as of Fall 2026, which can be found on the NYU Office of Global Services (OGS) webpage.

Apply for Business Practicum via Stern Life. Updated dates and deadlines can be found within the application.
