Graduate Certificate in Museum Education & Visitor-Centered Curation
The graduate certificate in Museum Education and Visitor-Centered Curation conflates museum education and exhibition functions. It focuses on prioritizing the educational needs of museum visitors through programming, interpretation, and exhibitions in order to prepare edu-curators, a term coined to express our vision for the future of museum practice.
Overview
This certificate for graduate and non-degree seeking students advances museum theory and practice, to help students become innovative and socially-engaged leaders and scholars. Informed by an adapted feminist systems approach, the specialized certificate develops practitioners who envision exhibitions and interpretative planning as non-hierarchical, collaborative processes.
The Art Education program at Florida State University is accredited through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), reflecting its commitment to excellence in preparing future art educators through rigorous academic and professional standards.
