MUSEUM STUDIES
The Program in Museum Studies at the Graduate School of Arts and Science,
New York University offers a 24-credit interdisciplinary graduate program
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."
Our 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.
Also, the Graduate School of Arts and Science currently offers
three Master of Arts degrees with Concentration in Museum Studies, for
those interested in combining formal museological training with an area of
specialization. With Concentration in Museum Studies, the Master of Arts in
Africana Studies, the Master of Arts in Latin American and Caribbean
Studies, and the Master of Arts in Near Eastern Studies, are special 36-48
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.
