Museum Studies at the University of Iowa
The University of Iowa has offered professional training for work in museums since 1910.
The Museum Studies Certificate program combines history, theory, and experiential learning to create a forward-looking curriculum preparing professionals for graduate school or work in a wide range of museums and cultural institutions.
Courses are offered online and face-to-face each semester to meet your education and professional development needs.
Graduates of the University of Iowa’s Museum Studies Program have become directors, curators, educators, and exhibit specialists in museums throughout the country. The Museum Studies program offers courses that are of value not only to students intending to pursue museum careers or continue their education, but also to those with a general interest in the arts, sciences, or humanities, as well as to those students who simply wish to know more about the workings of museums.
