An internship gives you a unique, on-the-job perspective of the career path you have chosen and helps connect classroom knowledge to a real work environment. Internships can be paid, unpaid, for academic credit or not.
Credit internships are supervised by appointed faculty members and certain criteria must be met to receive credit. A list of departments offering Academic Credit is available on Career Services myKC portal page or can be found in the Course Catalogue.
A non-credit internship is an excellent way to build your skills and experience in your field of study. Non-credit internships can be paid, unpaid or informational. The Career Services can assist you in researching and obtaining a non-credit Internship.
