The Internship Web pages provide information for students and employers.
An internship is a structured, supervised non-traditional educational experience, both career-related and credit-bearing. Internships are a form of cooperative education — a collaborative relationship between a student, an employer and the internship instructor.
Students work with the internship instructor to define a set of program-specific learning objectives that they wish to accomplish during their internship. These objectives promote the integration of classroom theory with practice in the workplace.
Internships benefit students, employers, faculty members and the community. (See Benefits of Internships.) North has worked with a broad range of industry employers over the years.

North Seattle College has over 29 degree and certificate programs where students seek required or optional internships as part of their curriculum. These programs span a number of industries, including:
Accounting
Business
Communication
HVAC
Information Technology
Nanotechnology

We will match you with the funding that meets your needs. Funds are limited and not all students will receive emergency grants from these programs. If we are unable to assist you with a financial grant, we will refer you to community resources as available.

Hundreds of North Seattle College students transfer to four-year colleges and universities each year. You can join them! These pages provide information and resources to help you plan a successful transfer.
Choose from 6 Transfer Degrees
Associate of Arts (AA) Degree (AA-DTA)
Associate in Business (AB-DTA)
Associate of Science General (AS-DTA)
Associate of Science Option #1
Associate of Science Option #2
Associate of Fine Arts
Why Earn a DTA Degree?
A DTA degree is part of a Direct Transfer Agreement, and can help you transfer more seamlessly. For most Washington state four-year colleges an AA-, AB- or AS-DTA degree will transfer as a package, and may
- fulfill most of the university’s lower division general education coursework.
- grant junior standing (depending on major entry requirements).
- give students priority application review status.
- qualify students for special scholarships or application fee waivers.
- include transfer of up to 15 credits of “normally non-transferable” coursework such as vocational or professional/technical classes.
- Please note, completion of an associate degree does not guarantee admission to a four-year college or university. Each institution has specific admission requirements (G.P.A., residency, core requirements, etc.).
Planning your Transfer is Important
Review the steps in our Transfer Planning Timeline to make sure you stay on track.
Students and schools have transfer rights and responsibilities. As a public college in Washington State, North Seattle College recognizes these rights and responsibilities.
Workforce Education may also assist you as a student enrolled in English as Second Language (ESL) classes or if you are completing your GED or high school diploma. Workforce Education staff are here to help you obtain the assistance you need to succeed in school.
