This program has been established to provide practical experience for students in the Fibers area that is relevant and useful to the student’s course of study. This experience can include: the creation of craft, art sales, design, the acquisition of business skills, as well as the participation in retail and wholesale craft exhibitions. A written proposal must be developed and agreed upon in advance of the beginning of the semester, describing the intended setting of the Field Internship and the time commitment that must equal at least eight-ten hours per week for the full semester (13 weeks). Note: In order to get credit for this Field Internship, the student must agree to write a comprehensive paper as described in the guidelines for the Tyler Field Internship Program.
