What this means in lay terms is that the professional development agency at KGI will help lay a foundation for meaningful work in your area of emphasis and provide guidance & support as your career advances. In addition to the lifelong support model, work and/or internship opportunities are forged by the PDA team while students are in school. Practical, hands-on learning in a real-world environment will help fuse academic concepts with pragmatic experience in addition to building your professional network.
Admissions at KGI are merit based. In other words, your efforts and qualifications trump other factors that may cloud decision-making at other institutions. Another valuable aspect of the KGI admissions process is the notion of unlimited enrollment. Unlike traditional colleges and universities, the KGI model is online and can scale to fit qualified students from semester to semester of any size. What this means for you is that you no longer complete for limited space but compete for entrance based on your merits.
