Our program at a glance
We are a two-year, full-time, in-person program based at the University of Washington’s Seattle campus. We are a people-centered program and operate on a cohort model because we believe the most powerful learning happens as part of a community. We embrace the interdisciplinarity inherent in museum studies and maintain a broad and flexible curriculum adaptable to students’ unique backgrounds and interests.
Community
As an in-person, cohort-based program, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our community includes 3 dedicated core faculty, over a dozen guest faculty, 60 students, and hundreds of alumni and community partners.
Curriculum
With minimal core requirements, 15+ electives, and access to courses across the UW campus, students have the flexibility to tailor their own experience. Through internships, thesis, and our evaluation specialization, our students make meaningful contributions to the field while in school.
Cost
Graduate school is a major life investment. We strive to be as transparent as possible about the cost of our degree.
