The Museum Science Program offers study in the degree program Master of Arts in Museum Science. The program emphasizes thorough preparation in the broad spectrum of museum theory and practice. It is one of the few study programs offering classroom instruction coupled with a working museum setting, allowing theory to be applied in practice first-hand.
Graduates from the program have a comprehensive background in museum studies, preparing them as generalists. In addition, students may elect to become specialized in a number of museum subdisciplines including collection management; exhibitions and interpretation; museology; museum management and administration; and, curatorship in anthropology, art, history, or the natural sciences.
A student majoring in the program must take at least 24 hours from the Museum Science core curriculum, a minimum of 15 hours of elective graduate-level courses, plus 6 hours of thesis, internship, or special project. A total of 45 credit hours of graduate-level work is required for graduation. Internships are normally executed at approved museums and facilities other than the Museum of TTU, to broaden the student's academic and training base.
