Students are encouraged to volunteer at the Snite as a means of gaining practical experience in a variety of museum departments. The Medieval Institute is the repository of a complete microfilm set of the Renaissance and Baroque manuscripts of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan. As part of these holdings, the Institute has photographs of the Ambrosiana's approximately 10,000 drawings. The art department is currently engaged in a Kress Foundation supported project designed to make images of and information about these drawings available on the World Wide Web. Students from the department have assisted in the continuing, on-line cataloguing of these holdings.
Financial support is available in the form of full-tuition scholarships and graduate stipends.
A limited number of paid internships are also available for second-year students at the Snite Museum of Art. Information concerning admissions requirements and deadlines may be obtained from the Graduate School.
