Academic credit
It may be possible to attain academic credit through your Talanta internship. If your school grants credit for internships, then ask for the list of requirements. They may have rules about the number of hours you must complete, the type of internship position, or about your internship host company. If your educator will not grant credit directly, ask if you can transfer credit from another university. Talanta provides a transcript option through our partnership with Florida A&M University and you may be eligible to earn transfer credit.
During your initial interview with Talanta, be sure to tell us that you will be doing the internship for credit.
See our FAQs for more information on academic credit.
