The Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program (KCGIP) trains master’s students in the real-world knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in the laboratory—and at the interview table. This accelerated master’s program provides 6-9 months of hands-on training in specialized coursework followed by a competitively paid 9-month internship in manufacturing, high-tech and healthcare fields. Through this program in the Knight Campus, students are trained to be successful in the fast-paced, team-driven environment typical of the industrial, biomedical or government lab settings.
