Practicum Courses

The first three required courses in the program (MST 600, MST 610, and MST 620) are four credits each. Three credits of coursework will be supplemented and contextualized by a one-credit practicum per course. Utilizing the rich and varied resources of the New-York Historical Society, the practicum will allow students to gain real-life experiences in the practices of curation, collections management, and museum operations. Over the course of 15 hours (per course), students will observe and document how museum and cultural entity professionals approach their work, and will learn how they handle issues facing museum operations.

Note: Onsite participation in the practicums are encouraged, but not required. Online options will be provided for those who are unable to attend in person.
