Students can complete an internship with an employer related to their professional discipline. In order to qualify for credits, the student and the employer have to complete documentation evidencing the work performed. The internship is a key part of Carolina University's focus on developing professional skills. The university recognizes that fundamental disciplinary knowledge needs to be supplemented by workplace competencies and skills in all of its degree programs in order to prepare students for successful careers upon graduation. Accordingly, the internship is expected to fulfill this requirement and is tailored to the particular degree program. Students are to be placed in internships that closely match the needs of their professional discipline and typically perform tasks that develop competencies required in professional settings within that discipline.
