项目概述

另外, you will take four credits of pre- and post-internship courses that facilitate thoughtful eng年龄ment with the internship opportunity. While the Nexus certificate requires one internship, 集中在博物馆, 档案, and public history depends upon internships as a component of professional training, so students undertaking the Nexus should explore a succession of internships at Mount Holyoke and elsewhere in a way that will allow them to develop a significant set of skills.
