What’s the difference between a curator and a professor?
Recognizing that the title of curator is not common within the university setting, the Museum awards the titles of professor, associate professor, or assistant professor, along with the appropriate curatorial rank and title, to all faculty actively participating in our training programs. The Museum also awards the affiliated professor or adjunct professor title to non-curatorial faculty members during the time they serve in an active role teaching and advising in the Richard Gilder Graduate School.
