Working at the Texas Fashion Collection

Internships

As an extension of the educational mission of the University of North Texas and the College of Visual Arts and Design, the Texas Fashion Collection offers internships and fellowships for currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students from diverse academic backgrounds. These learning experiences offer students opportunities to engage in hands-on, behind-the-scenes activities relating to collection digitization, management, and research, with each internship and fellowship tailored to the student’s professional development goals.

Volunteers
