Why choose the Museum Studies at Tufts?
A. There are many reasons to choose the Tufts University Museum Studies program. Based on feedback from our students, the main reason they come to Tufts is our reputation. Admission to our program is competitive. Our program is also known by those in the museum field as one that trains students through skill-based, hands-on courses. For example, in the Exhibition Planning course, you will not only learn about how to mount an exhibit, but will be able to see your own exhibit come to fruition. The fact that the program requires four courses plus an internship provides job qualification without the time and financial commitment of a masters program. The internship is the culminating part of the program and provides the student with the opportunity to experience working in a museum, historic-home, or another institution. Throughout the internship, you will be mentored closely by the Internship Supervisor to ensure a quality experience.
