Museum Internship

To receive an undergraduate Museum Studies degree, each student must participate in a major and meaningful hands-on experience through an internship. This experience is intended to pose new challenges and allow the student to apply the knowledge and skills gained through the departmental core courses. Normally, internships are completed at another museum so that the student will gain maximum benefit from diversified professional experiences.
