The breadth of approved courses reflects the possibilities of the portfolio’s wide–ranging goals, from developing an understanding of how museums shape societies to developing skills relevant to understanding museums and those who work in them. Students are encouraged to reflect carefully on the design of their own program. A course not on the list may be used, including an internship, as part of a student’s program if approved by the Museum Studies portfolio advisory committee.
