UBC (MOA) has developed a Certificate in Museum Studies (titled "Managing
Change and Imagining Tomorrow: Cultural Strategies in the Communications
Age") that is suitable for mid-career professionals in cultural
organizations.  It will be offered for the first time in 1997 (starting
April 4) and a good part of it is through distance learning.

We also offer credit courses in museum theory and practice in both
graduate and undergraduate programmes.  Core courses include museum
anthropology/material culture research, the care of cultural property,
the anthropology of public representation, conservation of organic and
inorganic materials, the anthropology of art, etc.  Museum-related
courses, though offered through the department (discipline) of
anthropology, are open to students in other disciplines.
