WASHINGTON, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWC) and Elon University announce a five-year School of Record partnership that will go into effect with the fall 2021 semester.

The School of Record partnership enables students from colleges and universities that are not affiliated with TWC to receive an Elon University transcript for up to 15 academic credit hours when they complete TWC's Academic Internship Program (AIP). Currently, only students enrolled in one of the 400 institutions affiliated with TWC could receive academic credit. This agreement means that more students will have the opportunity to access a high-impact living, learning and working experience through the AIP, and receive Elon academic credit hours, which they can transfer to their home institution.

"Elon has thoroughly vetted and approved our curriculum. We are thrilled to offer a greater population of college students access to AIP through this agreement, and to have those students' achievements recognized by Elon University with an academic transcript," said TWC Chief Academic Officer Dr. Kelly Eaton.

TWC and Elon University have been partners since 1988, with 539 TWC alumni from Elon University to date. Elon President Emeritus Leo M. Lambert, serves on the TWC board of trustees.

"We are grateful for the opportunity to expand Elon's long and mutually beneficial partnership with The Washington Center," said Elon University President Connie Ledoux Book. "As the School of Record, we want to encourage students from all colleges and universities to take advantage of TWC's unique learning experiences in our nation's capital."

Students will be eligible to gain academic credit through this agreement starting in the Fall 2021 semester. To learn how institutions can partner with TWC, visit explore.twc.edu/sor-Elon or email [email protected].
