A field internship must provide practical professional experience in a setting which is relevant to the student’s course of study, such as in a gallery, museum, design studio or agency, or community art center, etc. A comprehensive paper must be written. An internship is designed to give the student valuable real world career experience. Guidelines for specific area requirements are available through the GAD office. Note: The GAID Internship Coordinator must receive and approve a written proposal prior to the start of the internship, describing the setting and the time commitment, which must equal at least 10 hours per week for a full semester.
