Internships

The University of Montana’s Anthropological Collection Facility Internships are designed to serve a dual purpose: 1.) to give students an opportunity for hands-on experience, and 2.) to allow the repository to operate at full capacity, clearing its 40+ year backlog without requiring a million dollar operating budget.

Credit

Every student is allowed to count 6 internship credits towards graduation. The Internship may be taken for 2-6 credits and can be taken for more than one semester, upon approval. For every credit taken, 3 hours per week are owed to the repository.
