One of the benefits of HNIP is that interns may be eligible to receive academic credit. While it is not mandatory to receive academic credit to participate in the program, HACU encourages participants to research this possibility.

HACU can help facilitate the process to ensure the necessary documentation and procedures are in place so that the home institution may award credit.  Specifically, we encourage students to click below for suggestions on how to ensure that you recieve academic credit for your internship.
