See Associated Colleges of the Midwest and Carleton College Off-Campus Studies . Internships A number of students choose to intern for a summer or, occasionally, a term at a museum, preservation agency, architectural firm, or similar institution. The Career Center has information on internships as do some of the Studio and Art History faculty members. They maintain access to the Boliou facilities and assist faculty members with various projects, including organizing and mounting exhibitions in the Boliou Gallery. They also organize an annual special exhibition in that space.
Faculty members offer help and guidance for the fifth-year interns' own art work.
In order to give students opportunities to hear as many different viewpoints as possible, the department brings to campus many visiting lecturers. Efforts are made to ensure they are good speakers with interesting topics. Majors should take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible. Juniors should consider attendance at these a requirement, as reference to the lectures will be made in the seminars for majors. Seniors will benefit from these lectures too, whether Art History majors reviewing for their Comps exam, or Studio majors gaining access to the wider art world.
