You can do an internship for credit through University Career Services:

Check out the Rutgers Internship and Co-op Program (RICP):    http://careers.rutgers.edu/page.cfm?section_ID=8&page_id=281

Remember, you can do an internship for experience without credits (which you have to pay for).

Learning about potential fields and gaining skills for your resume may be enough.

It does not have to be “for credit” for an internship to have value on your resume or LinkedIn Profile.

Graduate Students can earn credits for internships too.

MCIS Students see course listings for internship options, for example
