About Internships:
The Department of Art Internship course provides students with a supervised, practical learning experience in a creative, art-related professional work environment relevant to their professional interest or program of study. With their Internship Supervisor, students will develop and prepare a framework for responsibilities, to be approved by a designated Art faculty member. All Art majors (BA and BFA) are required to complete a minimum 1 credit hour Art 3191 internship before graduation. Students may repeat Art 3191 up to three times. This is a graded course.
Students are responsible for securing their own internships and will work with their Internship Supervisor to arrange and record a planned schedule according to the following credit requirements:
1 credit = 25 hours over 15 weeks
2 credits = 50 hours over 15 weeks
3 credits = 75 hours over 15 weeks
