Students seeking a more intensive business studies educational experience may apply to become a Carey Fellow, Sewanee's business honors program. Carey Fellows complete requirements beyond the normal coursework—including a semester-long, paid internship—that prepare them for leadership positions. The Wm. Polk Carey Pre-Business Fund provides generous funding for the Carey Fellow business honors program.
During their junior year, Carey Fellows spend the spring semester in an off-campus, paid internship at one of the Babson Center’s partner companies nationwide and globally.
Carey Fellows travel to New York City, Austin, Nashville, Huntsville, and Chattanooga for an extensive two-day collection of briefings with Sewanee alumni occupying leadership positions in a range of top-tier companies.
Thirty-seven diverse and talented Sewanee students have the distinction of being Carey Fellows.
The Carey Fellows business honors program launches students into successful careers and top business schools. Leading sectors include investment banking, consulting, private equity, and corporate finance with placements in global firms such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Accenture, and Nomura Greentech.
