How will I gain experience?

Mount Mercy offers an art internship program, which is designed to give practical, on-the-job experience to complement academic studies and will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. You will be placed in an art workplace and your placement will vary according to the your interests and art faculty recommendations. Interns work approximately 25 hours per week and have weekly contact with your supervising instructor throughout the duration of your internship. As an art major, you are not required to do an internship to graduate, but students have interned at:

• Local advertising agencies as graphic designers


• Grant Wood Area Education Agency as graphic designers


• CSPS as the assistant to the Curator


• Cedar Rapids Museum of Art as the assistant to the Curator
