Student Development Experiential Learning Public History students gain valuable professional experience during internships and residencies. Although the internship and professional residency are required components of our graduate degree programs, workshops, conferences, and other forms of experiential learning and networking will always be a part of the professional development of public historians. Workshops Public history faculty members regularly organize workshops that encourage both students and faculty to pursue further professional and academic development in specific areas of study. Often, these workshops are tailored for specific courses, other times they are organized independently from individual course work and are intended for a broad audience of students and professionals.
