Bring art and history to life
Each museum is different, showcasing a beautiful collection of history to marvel over. Museum studies (sometimes called museology) offers you the opportunity to study a unique blend of history and art courses so you are well prepared to enter the museum field. A background in museum studies opens doors to a career in history-based museums and also enables you to pursue a career in art museums. There’s so much to explore and behold inside a museum, and you can help bring it to life.
