Museum Studies
The Museum Studies program provides a rich and dynamic education in both museum theory and practice.
This dynamic and interdisciplinary program connects courses from disciplines such as History of Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, History, Cities, Biology, and Geology.
Students learn about the history of museums and their roles in society, and they engage with critical, theoretical museum scholarship. Through coursework and internships, students also have the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience in the 魅影直播 Special Collections as well as in museums, galleries, and archives in Philadelphia and beyond.
The Museum Studies program calls upon the College鈥檚 extensive collection of art and artifacts, rare books and prints, photographs and manuscripts, which facilitates research and experiential learning for students.
