Museum Training Concentration

In addition to providing a foundation in anthropology, the museum training concentration prepares students for research and careers in the scholarly and curatorial aspects of museum work. In addition to the requirements for the MA program:

• 12 - 15 of the student's 36 hours must derive from museum-related courses offered by the Anthropology Department or Museum Studies Program
  
• Of these 12 - 15 hours, up to 6 may come from internship credits (for internship procedures, click here)
• View details of recent museum internships.

Graduate courses with a museum focus include:

• Anth 230: Anthropology in the Museum
• Anth 231: Museums and the Public: Exhibiting Culture
• Anth 232: Introduction to Conservation
• Anth 234: Problems in Conservation
• Anth 236: Internship in Museum Anthropology
• Anth 237: Ethics and Cultural Property

Students may also take courses offered by the Museum Studies Program
