Museum Studies Minor

The Art History and Museum Studies Program fosters an energetic exploration of art, architecture, material culture, and the museology through the study of primary visual and literary sources, with an emphasis on historical understanding, critical thinking, written and oral communication, and professional development.

Art History majors and Museum Studies minors are required to complete at least 3 credits of internship. Students interested in pursuing graduate school opportunities are also encouraged to complete a capstone project. Internships and capstone projects will be determined in consultation with the AH/MUSE Program Director.
