Overview

The key distinctive feature of the City or County Management Fellowship is its structure.

In their first year, Fellows engage in full-time intensive coursework as well as a part-time, paid internship. This allows University of Kansas Fellows to immediately apply academic concepts to the profession.
The second year of the Fellowship revolves around a full-time, paid internship and 3 week-long intensive seminars, which round out professional concepts and provide Fellows guidance as they join the profession.

Fellows also benefit from regular interactions with our strong network of alumni who are working in local governments across the country.
