• Internships and Programs

Most of the institutions listed on this page offer a variety of internships (full-time, part-time, summer, semester, and year-round) in all departments; the deadlines should be used as a general guide. Students should read closely the requirements of each institution, consult this page for writing samples, schedule an appointment with Kenyon’s Career Development Office, and talk with their professors.

A list of New York based opportunities is also maintained by NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Kenyon offers financial assistance to students who have secured unpaid internships through the Summer Internship Support Funds. Additions and corrections may be sent here.
