Montana State University Internship Program
• A full and rich design studio experience fulfilling
the education criteria of a campus studio.
• Familiarization with the relationship of all aspects
of professional practice.
Internships will be only in firms licensed to practice
architecture.
The students allowed to participate are selected on
the basis of their academic achievement, interest and
potential in the field of architecture. The Internship
Program is a professional/ academic program approximately
six months (24 weeks) in length. The student will work
under this program during the spring and summer semesters
of the fourth year. Academic credit is given so that
the student remains in phase with other students. The
student-intern may obtain their own position or work
with the coordinator and the School of Architecture
Advisory Council for placement within a firm. The student-intern
will benefit from the opportunity of living and working
in an environment different from his/her past experience
in addition to gaining work experience.
