The Museum Studies Certificate offers graduate-level knowledge, skills, and experiential training in the field of museums and galleries. The certificate is a 3-semester, 12-credit course of study with a field project conducted during the 3 semesters. Students take five 2-credit seminars in their first two semesters and one 2-credit Field Project Seminar in the 3rd term. Three seminars form a 6-credit core of courses that will be offered each year. This is a low-residential  hybrid certificate with coursework delivered in-person and synchronously online with the Field Project Seminar held in the third semester on campus or remotely from a recognized museum or gallery.
