The new Master of Liberal Arts in Museum Studies provides leadership training in all areas of museum work and combines theory, methodology, and practice. Students acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the function of museums in their social and cultural contexts and a foundation for conducting research. The ALM in Museum Studies is appropriate for people with some experience in the field of museums who want to improve their credentials through formal academic training and for those who wish to acquire a background in museum studies. Courses are offered year-round, including during Harvard Summer School.
"By adding a graduate research and writing component to our program, we are preparing our students to be competitive."
