Internship in Visual Arts

Pursuing an internship in Visual Arts enables you to apply skills and knowledge you have learned in academic and studio courses in a real-world setting. An internship also allows you to network with professionals and gain insights into the practice of your intended occupation prior to graduation.

Eligibility

All Bachelor-level majors in the Department of Visual Arts and students enrolled in the Art History Minor may earn academic credit for an internship when the internship relates to the program of study to which the internship applies.

For example, students enrolled in the B.A. in Art with a concentration in either Digital Arts or Graphic Design are eligible to receive credit in that program if the internship experience involves skills associated with their fields. Students enrolled in the Art History Minor are eligible to earn credit in that program for an internship requiring art history skills and knowledge.

B.F.A. students are not required to complete an internship, but they may earn academic credit when the internship relates to their focus area. To earn internship credit, you must enroll in ART 4850 Internship in the Visual Arts.

To be eligible to enroll in this course, you must first secure approval of the Internship Learning Agreement Form. In this form, you must detail how your intended internship involves specific projects or activities where you will apply skills connected with your program of study in a real- world setting.

Prior Requirements

To be eligible to enroll in ART 4850, students must have successfully completed at least one upper-level class in their program of study. However, to benefit the most from the internship experience, students are advised to complete most 4000-level courses in the program of study prior to starting the internship.

Note: that Art History Minors must have successfully completed at least two upper-level art history courses prior to enrolling in ART 4850.
