The interdisciplinary program in museum studies offers students an opportunity to explore the expanding field of museum work and museum research.

The course work for the minor includes a required course in museum studies, including the history and philosophy or museums and an introduction to museum management and planning. The minor offers specialized museum courses for anthropologistis and historians, and well as a wide range of electives, ranging from art to biology to geology, to provide expertise and exposure to different kinds of museums.
