Museum Internship

3 credits · Undergraduate

The Museum Internship Seminar is designed to provide upper-year students an opportunity to work in a museum and gain experience in hands-on curatorial projects which could be applied in a museum or gallery setting, or as part of a collections-related research project. The course aims to support interns' career competencies by developing practical skills for finding meaningful work after completion of their degree. Interns will spend 6 hours per week working in the Museum of Antiquities. Every two weeks (6 meetings in total) interns will meet for a two-hour seminar to discuss their work and to complete broader work competency training modules that will be focused on transferable work skills. In the final week of the seminar students will be given a mock job interview.
