As far as NYU's Graduate School of Arts and Science is concerned,  the
24-point program in Museum Studies is an intensive, interdisciplinary
post-grdauate program.

This program may be combined with graduate study in any of the disciplines
represented in the Graduate School of Arts and Science, and at other
schools of the University. Those who already have a master's or doctoral
degree or those who are enrolled for these degrees at other universities
abroad or here, in the US are also eligible to apply.

Successful completion of the Program in Museum Studies leads to award of
the New York State Professional Certificate in Museum Studies.

The Museum Studies Program is for students who aspire to professional
careers in today's museums as curators, educators, registrars, directors,
and administrators; it also prepares those already working in museums for
new responsibilities.  There is training in both the practical and
theoretical aspects of museum work, "museology," and in the application of
skills and techniques of museum work, "museography."

        Courses cover major museum functions.  Professionals today are expected to
have a knowledge of museum administration and organization, development and
fundraising, educational programming, collection management, and exhibition
planning and design.  This is in addition to the traditional functions of
research and writing, collecting and connoisseurship.

        NYU's Program in Museum Studies also offers three Master of Arts, for
those interested in combining formal museological training with an area of
specialization.  With a concentration in Museum Studies, the Master of Arts
in Near Eastern Studies, Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean
Studies, and Master of Arts in Hebrew and Judaic Studies, are special
36-credit programs which may take three semesters to complete.

        Internships are integral to professional training, and a student's
preferences and professional goals are important considerations in
individual placement.
