Salina Internships
Kansas Wesleyan University students interested in doing an internship for academic credit should contact their academic advisors during the first semester of their junior year. Internships for academic credit requested prior to junior year must first be approved by Provost and Faculty Sponsor.
The student and faculty advisor will discuss possible placement options and look for matches. Internships are not guaranteed. Internships are granted when students demonstrate a strong work ethic, stability, integrity, good communication skills, and strong technical work.
Internships may be established for up to 3 credit hours per semester (1 credit = 50 hours). An additional fee of $50.00 per credit hour is charged.
