Internship Program

Overview

The Figge offers a variety of internships based on departmental need. Internships in the Education and Curatorial departments are designed for upper-level undergraduates, recent college graduates and graduate students who are studying arts administration, art history, education, museum studies and other fields. Visitor Services internships provide opportunities to expand management skills. Technical internships offer successful candidates a chance to gain practical experience in web design and database development.
