Internships

While classroom input is inherent in educational programs at Seattle University, the professional application of academic theory gives students experiences that will add to their personal and professional maturity. The internship is a requirement for all students majoring in Kinesiology (KINE).

The internship experience provides the student with the opportunity to ask pertinent questions, make observations, and to participate in organization activities. All internship experiences must be undertaken in an agency that guarantees to provide the student with supervision by a certified professional possessing appropriate credentials, depending on the student’s interest.

Internships are performed during the Senior year of study with the following requirements:

1. Attendance of KINE Internship Orientation: one per quarter will be offered
2. Complete resume, cover letter, and interview session with the Career Engagement Office
3. Attend Kinesiology Internship Fair for Juniors
4. Submit top preferences for site and quarter
5. Register for KINE 4950: Senior Internship
