I believe that giving your course credit gives the employer some kind of tax break, although I’m not exactly sure how that works. I’ve never heard of employers really caring either way if you get it or not, especially big companies–but if they really want to give you credit like you seem to imply, it’ll probably be a bit difficult to persuade them otherwise…

On the school’s end, though–is there any way you could get credit without having to take an internship class that “conflicts” with your other stuff? I feel like the school will probably be more accomodating than the company, and it’s worth trying!
