2008-2009 Academic Catalog - Queens University of Charlotte

34
Typically during the sophomore year, prior to the internship experience, students complete a
preparation course, INTE 297 The World of Work, which prepares the students for their internships.
After successful completion of INTE 297, students seek out internships in coordination
with the Manager of Internships. To receive academic credit for an internship, the student must
enroll in INTE 498 or 499 and also submit an internship contract to the Manager of Internships.
Students majoring in education, music therapy and nursing will fulfill the internship requirement
(INTE 297, INTE 498 and INTE 499) through practicum experiences in their major. A
Professional Golf Management internship may fulfill the internship requirement if the student
first registers for INTE498 or 499 and also submits an internship contract to the Manager of
Internships. Participation in a 4 credit hour international internship will also satisfy the internship
requirement.
INTE 297 is a graded course, while INTE 498 and 499 are taken on a Pass-Fail basis. INTE
497 allows students to gain 1-6 credit hours of additional internship experience beyond the
INTE 498 and INTE 499 courses. INTE 497 is graded Pass-Fail.
THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
CORE PROGRAM REGULATIONS
When a student transfers to Queens as a full-time student, the Registrar will determine the
student’s class status. The student will then begin the Core Program sequence at the point
appropriate for that status.
In addition, however, the Registrar will determine whether or not the incoming student’s transcript
includes sufficient courses as measured by the list of substitutes for the Core Program
courses not taken. Students who lack sufficient substitutes may either take the Core Program
courses lacking or make up the past deficiencies with appropriate substitute courses.
Part-time, degree-seeking students who have not previously earned a baccalaureate degree
are encouraged but not required to participate in the program. If part-time students elect not
to complete the courses in the Core sequence, they must complete approved Core Program
Substitutions in order to receive a bachelor’s degree. Students who change from part-time
to full-time must begin the Core Program sequence at the point appropriate to class status at
that time.
Substitutions for Core Courses for Transfer Students
Based on the Registrar’s evaluation of any transferred credits, a transfer student who cannot
complete the Core program may be allowed to substitute other courses. Also, if a student fails
a 100 or 200 level Core course or is unable to complete a Core course for sound reasons
beyond the student’s control, the student normally has the option of taking the course over or
taking appropriate substitutes. There are no substitutions for CORE 412. The listing of Core
program substitutions for 100- or 200-level Core courses follows:
CORE 100 Courses: 3 Courses (9-10 semester hours), one each from three areas:
Area One: one survey course in western or world civilization, art or literature; or an
introductory religion or philosophy course.
Area Two: one survey course from the following: sociology, anthropology, macroeconomics,
American History or American Political Science.
Area Three: one course dealing with critical thinking, e.g., laboratory science, Mathematics,
economics, research methods, or logic.
If a student has NO course in any of the areas listed, the student would complete three
courses (one from each area) or CORE 112 and 122 OR a combination of CORE 122 and
one substitute depending on the total number of credit hours transferred.
If a student has completed ONE course from one of the areas, the student would complete
two additional courses (one from each of the remaining areas) OR would complete
CORE 122 depending on the total number of credit hours transferred.
