Internships
The Art Department supports an internship program for students in all three majors. Students are encouraged to research their discipline and locate internship opportunities to enhance their educational experience. Some internships are available through the Department (these are very competitive), others may be found through the Monarch Internship & Co-Op Office. Internships provide students with many valuable skills, both practical and research-oriented, that will provide benefit in future endeavors.
Career Development Services (CDS) supports all students and alumni with their career development journey. CDS offers a wide range of services such as assistance with resume and interview preparation, job search strategies, career exploration, and other career related items. CDS is the destination for looking for on-campus positions as well as part-time and full-time jobs in Handshake. CDS will ensure you are ready for your next steps. Stop by 2202 Webb Center or email cds@odu.edu for assistance.
There are several preliminary steps that must be taken before applying for an internship:
- Meet with a faculty coordinator at least one semester before you plan to take the internship (please note that Studio Art majors are subject to special tracking requirements), in Studio Art, Professor John Roth, and in Art History, Dr. Anne Muraoka.
- Compose a resume; your faculty coordinator or staff members from Career Development Services may assist with this.
- Research several potential internship opportunities, making note of application deadlines. You may seek assistance from the Monarch Internship & Co-Op Office in searching for internship opportunities out of the Hampton Roads area.
- Once you have been accepted into a position, register for ARTH 368 or ARTS 368 upon receipt of your coordinator's overload signature.
- Notify the Monarch Internship & Co-Op Office and Internship@odu.edu
