Does the Program encourage internship experience for applicants to the Program?

Although internship experiences are not required for an application to the Program, nearly all of our applicants have had some work or study experience in museums, historic houses, preservation organizations, non-profits, auction houses, antique galleries, science centers, living history sites, or educational institutions. Colleges may not call these experiences “internships” on transcripts or give them academic credit, but they test an applicant’s interest in graduate-level scholarship and determination for professional success.
