Curriculum

Our core curriculum provides the student with a firm foundation and knowledge in all of the museum’s functions. The elective courses, internship, and master’s project focus upon the student’s specialized area of museum work.

Our graduate courses and overall program design are continually reviewed and revised when necessary to reflect current museum employment trends. The Program also explores alternatives to museum employment in a variety of professional contexts such as: private galleries, city/state arts commissions, historical associations, auction houses, libraries with exhibition programs, corporate galleries and museums, private art collections, archives, civic art centers, science centers, planetaria, natural history/environmental education centers, and living collections.
