MA/MS in Museology/Museum Studies

This Cooperstown-based graduate program develops creative, entrepreneurial museum leaders who want to serve the public good. Students learn through real projects, creating programs that make museums central to their communities and use collections in history, science and art to encourage social change. Candidates follow either a history track or a science track. Seminars, projects and internships in the Cooperstown area and across the country give practical experience, and the classroom is effectively a museum. Funding includes scholarships and assistantships, with second-year assistants receiving a tuition waiver and a stipend paid every two weeks. Graduates join a lasting alumni network. Delivery is in person, and applicants may request credit for prior learning by contacting the transfer articulation office. The page lists history and science tracks.
