At the heart of our mission lies a commitment to nurturing student achievement and fostering the next generation of professionals across diverse fields. We believe in equipping our students with the skills and experiences necessary to thrive in their future endeavors.
Our approach is simple yet profound: by providing opportunities for internships, cultivating career readiness, and fostering a culture of research, we empower our students to excel beyond the classroom. As a teaching museum, we understand the importance of hands-on learning and real-world practice. Our students don't just learn about art and culture—they see it, they do it, they experience it firsthand.
Internships serve as invaluable stepping stones towards professional growth, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge to practical settings while gaining insights into their respective fields. Through employment and internships at the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art, students acquire critical skills, build networks, and develop a deeper understanding of the intricacies of museum operations.
“In supporting the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art, you are not only investing in the future of our students but also in the future of our communities and society at large. Your generosity enables us to continue providing transformative experiences, empowering students to become leaders, innovators, and change-makers in their chosen fields.”
