Internships
The internship course is designed in cooperation with a variety of cultural institutions in New England. The internship is limited to those students with exceptional records in the program who are pursuing a concentration in either the 36 hour track, or in Public Culture and History. In general, students must have taken at least 15 hours of course work before entering into an internship agreement.
Internships are meant to improve or introduce students to various skills necessary to the running and operating of museums and other venues of "public" culture and history; to improve overall student knowledge concerning the function, place and politics of cultural institutions in contemporary society; and to hone critical skills. Internships are not to be confused with docent positions, clerical work, or other kinds of volunteer labor.
