ACADEMIC CREDIT
Participating international students are required to enroll in one credit hour ECSC courses each semester when working on an IPP cooperative education or internship assignment. The one credit hour courses carry normal UTD fees. Students who are U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents may elect to enroll in the one credit hour ECSC classes to insure access to student services or to protect recognition of full-time status. The undergraduate one credit hour courses can be used to complete UTD free elective requirements.
Jonsson School undergraduate majors, with unfilled Advanced Free Elective credit options, may take an Interdisciplinary Studies course to receive academic credit for the IPP experience. The appropriate course is:
BIS 4310 Cooperative Education
Graduate CS and SE majors may be able to receive credit through CS 5381.
The IP program staff recommends that interested students review these options with their academic advisor before registering for any of the credit bearing courses. Undergraduate students enrolled in BIS 4310 will be asked to complete the IPP evaluation process.
