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.
