DOMA Student Employment
When any student positions are open, the opportunity will always be posted on Workday.
In addition to student visitor assistant positions, DOMA often offers semester-long internships that provide hands-on, practical experience for students interested in exploring the museum profession. Internships for students are available for credit or no credit. An internship is 150 hours and must be completed over the course of the semester during normal business hours at the David Owsley Museum of Art.

A museum internship is a project-based, prearranged, structured learning experience, scheduled within a specific time frame. It should be relevant to both the intern's stated academic and professional goals, and to the museum's needs and interests.
Ball State students interested in employment at DOMA must first apply in Workday when a posting is live. Applicants will receive additional instructions with a link to a questionnaire and the opportunity to upload application materials (including a resume, transcript, and cover letter). We cannot review incomplete applications.
Please note: the DOMA internship program is currently in transition and will not be active for new interns during the Summer 2026 cycle. We will make an announcement in April through the Ball State comm center if we are accepting applications for Fall 2026 at that time. Please contact Rachel Buckmaster with questions.
