Internships provide undergraduate and graduate students and beginning professionals with valuable hands-on experience in a specific area of museum work at the Georgia Museum of Art.

Internships at the museum:  

• are approximately 10-12 hours per week (unless otherwise specified)
• are available to students who are at least 3rd-year students in college
• are unpaid, volunteer experiences, with a few exceptions
• meet the Experiential Learning requirement at UGA (undergraduate internships only)
• are non-credit, but the student may obtain course credit through an internship course in their respective departments (including the Museum Studies Certificate Program)

Interns have continued their careers in organizations such as the Seattle Symphony, Zoo Atlanta, Dreamworks, CNN, the UGA Foundation, the Chronicle of Higher Education and the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. Some have continued their careers in other museums such as the Michael C. Carlos Museum, the High Museum, the Creekwood Museum, Sotheby’s, LaJolla’s Scott White Contemporary Gallery and the William Doyle Galleries.
