Intern: KCSU staff members accept interns to work in their department on a consistent schedule on various projects each week.

This is perfect for students looking to build their resume and/or become a KCSU staff member. There is no minimum or maximum time commitment to be an intern. We just expect consistency so your department head can count on you! All internships are unpaid.

Practicum: KCSU Practicum students earn college credit to work here!

Most practicum students earn 1-credit per 50-hours of work each semester. Talk to your academic adviser about this option. Depending on your major, this option might be called an “Independent Study.”

Staff Member: All staff positions are open for hiring at the end of the spring semester.

Staff members at KCSU are paid full-time degree-seeking students who work a consistent schedule during business hours at KCSU about 10-hours per week. This is the highest level of involvement at KCSU and a desirable, fun, on-campus job.

Each staff is the head of a department. Some departments change each year but the most consistent ones include Station Manager, Engineering, Local Music, Music Director, News, Sports, Production, Programming, Promotions, Training, Underwriting, Video, Web Master, and Social Media. Staff members are expected to attend all DJ events, all staff meetings, and be a face for KCSU in the community.

Volunteer: Help KCSU staff in a department of your choice on a by project basis.

This is perfect for students with little time but high passion. We will give you projects to help you learn more about the business.
