In the museum studies certificate program, you examine how museums produce and reflect culture and you examine how museums care for the collections they steward. You develop theoretical questions and applied skills that engage the functions, practices and critical analyses of museums. You gain practical experience while being encouraged to challenge preconceived notions about museums and the way they affect and are affected by societies and cultures. Designed to be interdisciplinary, inclusive and representative, the program ensures that you understand the meaning and significance of museums in contemporary society and prepares you for diverse museum careers.

Additional Curriculum Information
Certificate students may choose to specialize in areas such as anthropology, art history and public history. For a complete list of approved elective and research courses, students should contact the school. Internship (ASB 584) and Practicum (ASB 580) must be approved by their supervisory committees, usually in a museum setting or museum-quality collection or archive related to their chosen area of study: anthropology, art history, theory and criticism, or public history. For students currently enrolled in an ASU graduate degree program, applicable certificate courses may count toward their degree program, with the approval and consent of the degree granting program. For certificate students who are later admitted to an ASU graduate degree program, up to 12 credit hours from the certificate program may count toward their doctoral degree or up to 12 credit hours may count toward their master's degree, with the approval and consent of the degree-granting program. All requirements for the certificate program should be completed within a three-year time limit with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (scale is 4.00 = "A"). Students who require more time to finish the program, because of their part-time status or lack of desirable or available courses, must obtain approval from the executive committee.
