The museology graduate program inspires students to use museums to create strong communities. It is a two-year, interdisciplinary master’s program centered on three core beliefs: museums can make the world a better place; the power of museums lies in the role they play in learning, well-being, community building, and social justice; and museum professionals are connectors – they are storytellers, dialogue facilitators, community liaisons, designers, evaluators, researchers, project managers, and more.
The two-year, full-time MA program attracts students from a wide range of backgrounds including, but not limited to, informal learning, technology, international studies, education, and science communication, art history, history and anthropology. Our core courses are designed to provide a strong cohort experience and a solid foundation for student exploration. Our curriculum is a balance of tried and true courses and new courses that address current and future trends in the field.

The Museology Program offers an optional specialization in museum evaluation through which students gain a wide range of skills that prepare them to incorporate museum evaluation into their museum practice, as well as skills that are transferable to a range of positions within and outside of museums.
