We know that the answer is EVERYTHING!
Our students get jobs in advertising and
corporate settings, designing fashion,
interiors, jewelry and anything that
requires creative skills learned at
Montserrat College of Art.
And now Montserrat is one of a handful of
art colleges with a required internship
program for every student to give you the experience and contacts
that can help you get hired after graduation.
The Internship and Apprenticeship Program is a degree
requirement for graduation. The program lets students take into
the workplace what they've learned in the classroom, and gain
practical experience, learn the realities of the workplace, and
explore the direction they’d like their careers to take after they
graduate. Some students participate in corporate internships that
hire artists, and others work with established artists who are
making their living and their mark with their art.
*The Required Junior Year Internship & Apprenticeship Program at Montserrat College of Art was created through the
generosity of a grant from the Davis Educational Foundation, which was established by Stanton and Elisabeth Davis
after his retirement as chairman of Shaw's Supermarket, Inc.
“It has been our pleasure to
work with Montserrat College
of Art. It is our hope to always
have an intern from Montserrat
to assist in our marketing and
client development efforts.”

“I feel that it’s very
important to practice
what you are
studying while still
in school.
The internship program
does that, and I think
it’s great that it is a
requirement for credit.

Glidden working with intern
Kate Burgess on a campaign
for the Peabody Essex
Museum
“My internship in the Marketing Department
at Peabody Essex Museum gave me
real-world experience, allowing me to
interact with professional museum
employees in a professional environment.
Being involved in an internship off campus
reassured me that artists are capable of
living comfortable, professional lives while
still being creative.”

Frank Vigeant, Program Director for KnowAtom, Fun Science For Kids.
“At the beginning of the semester, I
never thought of participating in an
apprenticeship let alone being
offered a job as an assistant
afterward. It raised my self-esteem
and I can now apply the skills of
draftsmanship, craftsmanship,
promotion and presentation at school
and to my future career as an artist.”
