Can I get credit for my internship?
What is BA689?
Business Administration 689 is a zero credit course that keeps students' "registered student status" active with Ohio State. If you are going to be out on a full-time internship during fall, winter or spring, it may be very important for you to keep your status as a registered student at Ohio State for purposes of receiving scheduling information for the subsequent quarter, health insurance, application for athletic tickets, discounts on insurance, etc. (If you are interning summer quarter you probably do not need to be considered a "registered student at Ohio State." However, you can enroll in BA689 during summer quarter if you need to.)
