An internship serves as a bridge from the academic world into the professional world. Most often, students walk away from these experiences with the confidence that they’ll be able to succeed in their chosen profession. Completing a successful internship allows you to: 

• Gain practical knowledge in the field of photography
• Learn about the day-to-day business of being a photographer, working in museums, galleries, and other photo/art-related organizations 
• Make professional contacts 
• Get concrete experience for your resume

If you want to receive credit, you will need to register for ARTS 4312, a course that allows a student to receive university credit for completing an internship at a museum, gallery, assisting a photographer, or other photo/art-related organization. This 3-credit-hour course counts as an upper-division art history elective. A student may take the internship once and earn up to 3 credit hours.
