Academic Credit Models

Fairfield University is a private Jesuit university founded in 1942 in Fairfield, Connecticut, well known for their committment to international education. Fairfield is also a study abroad provider to many other U.S. and global universities through maintain many overseas study centers with the largest in Florence, Italy.

In 2016 Fairfield and Global Experiences partnered to develop a school of record relationship that will allow academic experiential credit to be available for both Fairfield and non-Fairfield students. It is our collective goal that access to credit and financial aid options will increase access and opportunities to more students.

Does your university offer academic internship credit for your degree? If they do and you’re seeking credit for your internship, you’re all set! Work with your GE adviser and university academic adviser to confirm exactly what is required for your assessment of your internship. This might include an approval form, supervision evaluation or other materials. Be aware that this may involve a tuition fee paid to your university. You must make arrangements for credit at time of application and before you arrive to your program location.
