Internship opportunities
A select number of students participating in the Florence program have the opportunity to intern at the Uffizi Gallery, the Medici Chapels, and possibly other local museums. The Uffizi, for example, is among the oldest and most prestigious museums in Europe and the home to a remarkable collection of art works, including paintings by da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio and many other great masters.
Applicants must possess good Italian language skills and strong interest in the history of the arts. Students interested in the internships should contact the director of the Florence program prior to their arrival. The final acceptance to the internship will take place once students arrive on-site in Florence, with staff from the Florence program undertaking the initial screening, and the museum directors making the final decision. Those accepted will also be required to incur the cost of an insurance policy (required by Italian law).
The internships will be in addition to the classwork required during the fall semester Florence program. They are not credit-bearing, and cannot substitute for one of the four courses (Italian language plus three electives) that students take during the semester. However, if a student's home campus is willing to award credit for the internship, students would be encouraged to arrange this with their campus.
