Welcome from the Director
Welcome to the Museum Studies program at the University of Kansas! We offer our students the excellent academic and professional training they need to prepare them for challenging careers in museums, historical agencies, and similar institutions.
Museums are a vital part of American culture. In our museums, we explore our identities, our values, and our dreams for the future. Since 1981, the Museum Studies program at the University of Kansas has prepared its graduates for a lifetime of leadership in this dynamic field.
Students in the M.A. program in Museum Studies develop both their expertise in an academic discipline—Anthropology, Geology, History, or Natural History—and their knowledge of the issues and practices central to museums. As a student in the Museum Studies program, you will work with outstanding faculty and accomplished museum professionals, and you will take advantage of the rich resources of the superb museums located at the University of Kansas and in nearby communities.
I invite you to explore our website and learn more about our exciting, interdisciplinary program in Museum Studies.
