Interships are a great opportunity for BDIC students to gain experience in their area of concentration while receiving credit towards degree requirements. A maximum of 6 internship credits (equivalent to 2 classes) can count towards your 12 class/36 credit BDIC concentration requirement. You are always free to go beyond this (and many BDIC students do), but the additional credits won’t count towards the requirement.
