| Museum Studies is a freestanding graduate minor providing graduate students contemplating professional museum work with insight into and some experience with museum operations. The minor is open to any graduate student. Upper division undergraduates may take 5000 level courses. The program does not offer a degree or certificate in museum studies. Supported by several departments, it does not focus on any one type of museum. Museums collect objects as records of the past (art, history, natural history, etc.) make them available for study and may interpret them for the public. Studying museums can provide insights into their subject disciplines. |
