Students interested in learning about museums as part of our cultural heritage or as an aid in developing a museum-related career are invited to complete the museum studies minor. Coursework for this minor is complemented by the use of the College's Yager Museum of Art & Culture and permanent collections when appropriate.
Students take museum studies courses in conjunction with a major or minor in an academic field most often associated with museums, such as anthropology, art, art history, education, history, management, or one of the sciences. Some students may opt to design their own Individual Student Program. Students who are interested in museum work and need advice about possible combinations of a major field with museum studies are encouraged to consult the coordinator of the program, Fiona Dejardin, dejardinf@hartwick.edu.
For more information about the museum studies minor requirements, course offerings, internships, and our alumni, see the Yager Museum of Art & Culture Web pages.
