Internships

Internships are an excellent way to gain firsthand experience in the field of art history. A variety of internship possibilities are available at museums and galleries, historic houses, and other cultural and arts organizations.

Course Credit

HART 3880 and 3883
Students who have been awarded an internship can earn course credit through HART 3880: Internship Training and HART 3883: Internship Research and these are co-requisite courses, so students must be registered for each concurrently. HART 3880 and 3883 are considered department internship credit hours. Internship credits can count toward the total hours required for graduation from Vanderbilt. HART 3880 and 3883 will not count toward the total hours required for the history of art or architecture and the built environment major or minor, and they do not count toward AXLE or CORE. Relevant internship credit hours can, however, count toward the minor in Museum Studies.

Students will need to secure a HART faculty advisor for these internships, and all necessary paperwork must be processed through the College of Arts and Science. Regular tuition charges apply for the internship credit hours earned.

INDS 3880 or 3884
Students may also earn internship credit (maximum one credit hour) through registration in INDS 3880 (fall, spring) and INDS 3884 (summer); INDS = Interdisciplinary Internship; necessary paperwork is processed through the College of Arts and Science as above and students will likewise need to secure a faculty advisor.
