The Smeds Executive Internship Program is a summer internship program that allows Carthage College students to apply their coursework in real-world settings, and enables companies and organizations to employ students for real-work projects while evaluating them as potential employees. Smeds Executive Interns are typically paid by the companies/organizations and earn a stipend from funds earmarked by the program's benefactor, Edward Smeds '57, who chaired the Carthage Board of Trustees from 1997 to 2011.

Each year, the Carthage Music Department holds its most prestigious music event, the Honors Recital, as a celebration of the excellent work done by its students. The students selected are honored as the best performers of the year. The recital's participants are chosen through a highly selective audition process. In order to be selected for the event, musicians must show mastery in their given instrument and choose a music that is self-contained, in that it focuses on a particular composer or theme.
