Mystic Aquarium

Mystic Aquarium’s intern program is designed to provide college students and recent college graduates with a dynamic educational opportunity while simultaneously providing career experience. Our unique program requires the completion of an independent project developed under the guidance of an aquarium supervisor coupled with work experience in the department of choice. We accept 1-3 interns per semester in each department, allowing a close working relationship between intern and accomplished aquarium staff.

The internship program reflects our mission, “to advance knowledge of the aquatic world for present and future generations.”  Internships are available fall, spring and summer in most departments throughout our institution, allowing students of all academic majors to experience the unique character of the Aquarium and enhance their personal and professional development.
