Special Summer Programs

Internships

Binghamton University's internship programs offer an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience along with academic credit. Every field is represented, structure is flexible, and best of all, you can take your internship anywhere in the United States. For more information regarding the types of internships listed below, contact the appropriate departments.

Art History:
Internships are available through the Art History Department and in conjunction with a variety of art institutions and associations. Past internships have been with the Roberson Museum and Science Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum and various private galleries. Prerequisites include: appropriate introductory courses in art or art history and approval of the institutional supervisor and undergraduate director. Interested students should consult in advance with the undergraduate director of the Art History Department for application procedures and deadlines.

Management:
Opportunities often are available to obtain academic credit for well-structured, work-related experiences in all management fields. Faculty supervision and consent are necessary. Strong academic content and degree relevancy must be demonstrated. Pass/Fail option only. Prerequisites include: junior standing and appropriate introductory courses.

Off Campus College:
Off Campus College (OCC) offers summer internships, which are highly dependent upon student initiative. Students must identify the desired agency then submit a proposal for credit to Off Campus College. These internships are not restricted to the Broome County area and may be taken anywhere in the United States. Summer internships may be taken for two credits (OCC 494) or four credits (OCC 394), depending upon the needs of the students and the hours of participation in the internship. The academic component of the program is the focal point, as students are assigned a faculty leader who assigns and grades all academic work. For additional information about the internship programs contact OCC at 607-777-4273.
