The Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program is a master’s program that combines focused lab and course work with a 9-month paid internship and professional development training to help students launch real careers in physics and engineering.
We train students in the real-world knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in the lab - and at the interview table.
We believe a graduate education should help you build skills necessary to excel in your career: technical expertise, hands-on experience, and the professional skills that allow you to be competitive in the industrial and national lab environment (communication, leadership, teamwork). We have over 26 years of experience helping students launch their careers in the real world.
