Museum studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the theory, history, management, and practice of museums and other cultural institutions. It encompasses a wide range of topics related to the collection, preservation, interpretation, and exhibition of artifacts, artworks, specimens, and cultural heritage materials.

Here you will learn skills that can be applied to a career in curation, museums, collections, archives, and of course, field archaeology, all while doing detective work to solve the many unpredictable issues that arise when rehabilitating old collections.

The program introduces students to all aspects of museum studies from theoretical perspectives to practical applications.
