SMUS 580 - Science Museum Internship 1 s.h.

Students are required to complete an internship of at least 8 weeks in a science museum or other science-related institution that interprets science to the public, during the summer between their first and second years in residence. The goal is to gain real- world experience. Interns undertake and complete a special project approved by the host museum and the Program and make periodic reports on their experiences. Students are responsible for finding their own internships, although the Program assists by informing them of opportunities. The Program reserves the right to reject any student-arranged internship that does not meet the guidelines. Individuals are supervised and evaluated by museum professionals at the host institution and the internship supervisor.
Prerequisite(s): Open only to full-time CGP students and 6 s.h. of graduate level coursework.
