Miap Summer Internship

Catalog description

In the summer between the first and second year, each student must complete 280 fieldwork hours at an internship site (generally 35 hours per week for 8 weeks). Though summer interns may specialize in one particular department/project area within a larger organization, over the course of the summer they are expected to obtain a broad knowledge of how the various departments of that institution work together. Work done during the summer internship may include a variety of different tasks. At times, the internship or a project related to it may serve as the core research and preparation for the student’s final thesis project. Summer internships are typically placed outside of New York City in order to view how repositories operate differently around the country and abroad.
