Museum Studies - Certificate

What Can a Student Do with a Certificate in Museum Studies?

A certificate prepares students for internships and entry-level positions in museums or for advanced studies in graduate school.  Employment in zoos and botanical gardens, historical houses and science centers, local, state and federal parks and monuments, and libraries and archives is also possible.  In large institutions a graduate with a BA/BS degree combined with a certificate may find employment as a subordinate to the head of department (e.g., assistant collection manager, education coordinator, exhibit artist); in smaller institutions, the same credentials may enable entry with a higher title (e.g., curator, exhibit manager, director).
