Do Fellows undertake internships while in the Program?

Fellows may augment the Program curriculum with professional experience through internships. There are two strategies for gaining this experience: the Museum Studies & Public Engagement Program Internship course (MSST 804, 3cr); or other professional experiences generally registered under the Special Topics / Independent Study course (EAMC 666, 3cr). The latter course is directed study that may or may not take the form of a traditional internship. The Museum Internship course is required for those planning to earn the Museum Studies & Public Engagement Certificate. The goal is professional training and may include work in curatorial, development, publications, and/or public programs areas. The MSPE Internship requires 350 hours of work, but Fellows may spread these hours over multiple semesters or sites, including Winterthur, at the discretion of the MSPE Program Director.
