Internships

With museums like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Historical Society just minutes away, it’s easy for students to immerse themselves in internships. Students with an interest in the arts find themselves equipped to handle a variety of internship positions—from working as a curatorial assistant to public relations to special event planning and beyond, all of these jobs show students the job functions that go into preserving and showcasing some of the finest art in the world.
