Museum Studies Certificate Program

Tufts' certificate in Museum Studies prepares students for positions in administration, development, collections care, education, or curatorial work in both small and large museums. The course work clarifies career goals for those who may be considering museum work, as well as enhances the skills of professionals in the field.

  • Recent graduates interested in a career as a museum administrator, curator, educator
