Credit Allocation


The Media, Culture and Communication internship course is optional, not required. If you choose to complete an internship for credit, the credit can count toward electives in the major (specialization electives) or unrestricted electives. 

Undergraduate students may earn a maximum of 6 academic credits through MCC-UE 1100 (with a maximum of 4 credits per semester). Internships are offered for either two credits or four credits and graded on 4-point scale (A, B+, C-, etc.). You can choose to take the course pass/fail, however, it can then only count as an Unrestricted Elective—it will not count towards your major.

*NYU-Los Angeles Exception

Students enrolled in the NODEP-UA 9982 Experiential Learning Seminar at the NYU-LA campus can exceed the MCC 6-credit internship limit to accommodate the required 4-credit course at NYU-LA. This raises the maximum credits to 8. Internship credits must be applied to professional or unrestricted electives only.
