Internships

All Museum Studies students whether graduate or undergraduate are encouraged to seek out internship opportunities. These internships have been done at institutions across the United States. Students are encouraged to apply for competitive internships, but internships can also be arranged independently with the assistance of Museum Studies faculty. It is a firm policy of the department that all internships must be a meaningful work experience which gives the student the opportunity to learn by working alongside a seasoned museum professional.
