Graduate Internship Requirements
MSST 804: Internship (3 credits) is required to complete the Museum Studies Certificate. The internship consists of 350 hours of supervised work experience intended to complement the program’s courses and provide real-world experience in a museum, historic site, public garden, archive, or other related organization. Most students complete their internship hours between their first and second year of academic study, but internships may be undertaken, or completed, during the academic year. Some students choose to split their internship hours into several segments in order to explore various career paths. Students may also choose to participate in the Museum Studies Collections AID (C-AID) project each January as part of their internship hours. The set of links below contains the requirements for setting up and completing internships for both students and sponsors, offers advice on finding internships and explains the internship policies associated with various academic programs. Both students and institutions interested in having interns should contact Dr. Kenneth Cohen, Director early in the academic year to indicate their interest and to begin planning.
