ISA Internships has partnered with the University of South Florida (USF) to offer a U.S. transcript and award 6 academic credits for ISA Internships set-date, 8-week programs. Credit awarded will be based on the successful completion of written academic assignments, evidence of reflective learning, and an evaluation from your host organization supervisor. The additional cost of academic credit is $375, and includes a transcript with an A-F letter grade from USF.  

In order to be eligible for transfer credit from USF, participants must be full-time students who have completed at least 30 credit hours, or recent graduates from a bachelor degree program. Participants must have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Please note that some placements may have more stringent eligibility requirements.

Students may work with their home university to receive academic credit for their program.  Each academic institution has a unique policy for granting internship credit, thus students should inquire about receiving academic credit with their home university advisors, professors, and/or academic department heads.

Interns earning credit through their home institution will still have select assignments required to be completed by ISA as part of their program. 

Homestays are the norm for Spain, and are encouraged by ISA. ISA participants living in homestays will be provided with three meals per day and laundry service once per week for the official duration of the program. This is included in the ISA program cost. Students usually share a bedroom with another ISA student, but have the option of paying extra to secure an individual room.

Student residences (Residencias in Spanish), which are basically a cross between a small dorm and a boarding house, are assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis, and availability is limited. Students may be placed into an individual or shared room, depending on availability. Rent is included in the program price. Meals and laundry service are not included, but students will have kitchen and washer/dryer access. The residencias may have wireless internet access. They are conveniently located near the ISA office and within walking distance to public transit routes.
