It is not unusual for students to work at two or more internships during their college
career. Internships provide unique learning experiences and add to a student’s network
of contacts.
Career Center Cooperative Education and Internship Program
The Career Center’s Cooperative Education and Internship Program (fall, spring and
summer semester) may also fulfill the Beyond the Classroom requirement. This program
is a good fit for students participating in a full-time cooperative education or internship
experience during a major academic semester. Students should communicate with the
Career Center’s Experiential Education Team regarding eligibility and enrollment in
the program for the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Students are responsible for
keeping their Honors advisor informed if they plan on enrolling in the program.
Students will be enrolled in the program through the UofSC Career Center. When the
program is reflected on the student’s transcript, the student will earn six Honors
credits. Three credits can fulfill BTC requirement, and 3 credits can fulfill an Honors
Elective.
The Honors Advisor will update the Honors advising form accordingly.
