Top Internships by Major
At King’s, we have a bias toward action that encourages students to explore their fields of interest in practice. As we say, “the City is our campus.” Students learn ideas in the classroom and put them to the test in the City through internships, part-time work, and volunteering. They also receive in-depth career development training. This includes career planning, resume coaching, practice interviewing, company visits, training in networking, connections to professionals throughout the city, and more. In a City that houses the largest number of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of budding startups, students have countless opportunities to try out careers before they enter the workforce.

Influencing the Big Apple
New York City is a global hub. Here, students have access to internships at companies that set the bar for the rest of the world. News outlets such as CNBC, CNN, and Fox. Tech companies such as Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Art institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Broadway, and the Tribeca Film Festival. It is no accident that we chose New York City for our campus. This city influences and shapes culture around the world, and students’ time in New York prepares them for wherever God calls them next.
