Internships can provide opportunities for learning and service without the academic tie. The Art in Service internship at the Maine College of Art is overseen by a coordinator as a year-long internship or independent study. Interns spend fifteen hours weekly on site, and a minimum of two hours preparing. The coordinator meets with students and their supervisors three times each semester: first to plan the internship, then to observe progress, and finally to assess impact.
