Education & Interpretation in Museums ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This study presents an aspect within the growing field of Public History - the Museum Educator. Museum education has expanded from a limited focus on teaching school-aged children to a wide range of activities that fosters community, addresses social issues, and provides educational programming to a diverse audience within museums and galleries of all subjects - history, art, cultural history, science, etc. Museum educators direct education departments, create museum/web-based programs and learning resources, collaborate with exhibition development teams, and work with various community groups.
