The tasks assigned are typical of tasks found in all museums and help students experience the complexity and variety of museum work in hands-on situations. Students also may seek part-time employment in local museums. The Department has contacts with the museums and cultural organizations in the Waco and surrounding area which employ departmental students. This network provides both financial support and direct museum work experience in another institution. Students interested in museum employment should contact the Director of Academic Programs for suggestions.
Graduate students have an additional financial resource.
Applications for assistantships are made to the Director of Academic Programs and are reviewed in the summer prior to the fall semester, and in late autumn prior to the spring semester. Baylor University . Updated August 30, 2001.
