Flexible, community-based learning
This community-based learning internship adds valuable workplace experience to the arts degree by allowing students to develop practical skills that relate directly to their academic studies.
Internships generally consist of completing weekly hands-on work activities in addition to preparing a major project related to the ongoing work of the organization or partner hosting the student.

ARTS 4000 students should expect to work full or part-time hours each week, depending on when their internship takes place. ARTS 4000 students also conduct reading and research that relates directly to their major project.
While each individual placement may require certain specialized skills, previous experience or interests, all require students who can work independently and have good communication and research skills.
