The JNBC Practicum Program

The John Nicholas Brown Center invites applications from museums and other cultural organizations for the JNBC Practicum Program, which supports the mission of host organizations and provides valuable training for students in Brown University's M.A. in Public Humanities program. Institutions are eligible for JNBC practicum grants, providing $1000 to support the work of the student.

The Practicum Program: Practicums--essentially internships with additional academic requirements--are a key part of Brown's M.A. in public humanities. They provide practical, hands-on training that is essential for careers in museums, historic preservation, and cultural agencies. A successful practicum will result not only in a completed project of use to the institution, but also a better understanding of the public humanities for the student. The practicum should encourage reflective practice: not only practical learning, but also a thoughtful understanding of the nature of work in the field.
