All Kent JMC undergraduate students are required to complete an internship in their chosen major to graduate. This is an opportunity to test your skills and to gain invaluable real-world experience. Students who perform well in their internship often are offered full-time positions after graduation by the organizations with which they interned. Internships must be a minimum of 300 hours of work and cannot be taken for credit until certain prerequisite courses are completed. All internships must be approved by a faculty advisor in your major prior to registering.
