The Harrisburg Internship Semester (THIS) is a program open to students from any major with a 3.0 or higher. Students receive 15 credits while living and interning in Harrisburg, PA. Part of their credits come from taking a seminar at the Dixon Center with students from the 13 other PASSHE campuses. Students pay tuition to IUP as normal and get a $5,500 stipend to offset the cost of living in Harrisburg.
