How to Apply
Internship applications are accepted three times a year by the following deadlines:

 

March 15 for summer internships (between May/June and August)
September 1 for fall internships (between September and December)
December 15 for winter internships (between January and April)
Applications can be sent at any time, but they will be held for consideration until the dates listed above.

 

To apply for an internship, please email the following materials to higgins@higgins.org with “Internship Application” in the subject line:

- A letter of interest stating:why you want to intern at the Higgins; how a Higgins internship relates to your personal and academic goals; relevant skills/experience. Please indicate which internship you’re interested in, and also estimate your availability (both number of hours per week and number of weeks).
- A current resume.
- Names and contact information for three references.

This material will be reviewed by Museum staff on or just after the three review dates listed above. If your experience and skills seem like a potential match for the Museum, you will be invited to come in for an interview. Because there is a high volume of applications for the summer, we will arrange information sessions in March or April; applicants are strongly advised to come to one of these information sessions, after which short interviews will be held.
