Gaining recognition for your experience enables you to document your work and use the experience as part of the foundation of your career development. Recognition programs often offer a structured, guided process for reflection and feedback on workplace learning, performance, and accomplishments. It also provides an achievement to include on your resume and career portfolio.
At FSU, you have several options for earning recognition:
Experience Recognition Program
Get recognized for engaging in experiences outside of the classroom! Whether you're participating in an internship, leadership, research, or significant service opportunity, earn recognition for your resume.
Academic Course Credit
You may be able to earn academic course credit through your academic department that houses your major. Contact your Academic Advisor to determine if academic credit is available for completing an internship. Please note: academic credit is granted at the discretion of individual academic departments. Therefore, it is possible that this may not be an option available for you.
Directed Independent Study
Academic credit may be earned for an internship experience if taken as a Directed Independent Study (DIS). The amount of credit is arranged in consultation with a faculty sponsor or Academic Advisor. Contact your FSU Academic Advisor to determine if academic credit through a DIS is available for your major. Please note: academic credit is granted at the discretion of individual academic departments. Therefore, it is possible that this may not be an option available for you.

Florida State University recognizes that today’s global economy requires graduates who are both academically and cross-culturally prepared in order to succeed in a diverse and multicultural world, and the Global Citizenship Certificate is designed to help prepare students for the new challenges of living and working in the global society of the 21st century.
