Museum Studies ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Museum Studies is both a study of the historical and cultural aspects of museums and museology, as well as a flexible platform for students to engage in the study, research and presentation of a variety of art and objects, ranging from material culture and art history to media. Applying theories, approaches, and examples learned from course materials, students will understand how to design museums or exhibitions. Through curatorial projects, students will select and study the art works or other items for their museum projects, and they will learn about various research and museum activities involved in curating an exhibition. Students should have prior college course or knowledge in art or art history as well as upper-level standing with advanced level academic skills. This course was previously ART-224534 Museum Studies.
