Experiential Study in Departments (EXPSTDY 1r) provides academic credit for students who are required to receive credit in order to engage with a work or internship experience. This course is open to any student who will be undertaking an internship, work, or lab-based research experience, for which academic credit is a requirement. Full details, including course requirements, are available on the petition form. Please contact your concentration department for information on the appropriate course in your area.
Students should complete the petition form and submit it to the OUE (oue@fas.harvard.edu), along with any other documents required for work purposes, for signature and approval. Students can then forward the signed petition to the course head, requesting permission to enroll in the course.
Students must have completed at least two semesters of study at the College before enrolling, and be concentrating or pursuing a secondary field of study in the department. Students must enroll in EXPSTDY during the concurrent semester, or the semester immediately following the work/internship experience. Students cannot enroll in EXPSTDY after completion of their studies required for graduation. EXPSTDY will carry one academic credit and will be graded pass/fail. EXPSTDY is not available for concentration credit, nor does it fulfill any divisional distribution requirement.
Please feel free to contact Lisa Laskin, Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education with general questions.
