Advising & Resources
Advising and Career Planning
An integral part of your program at Tufts is the advising you receive. When you begin the program, you coordinate your studies with your academic adviser and attend an orientation session where you talk with members of the faculty and other students in the program. From these first meetings, you develop an academic program to meet your career goals.

As you move through the program, you can meet with the faculty, advisers, and staff to discuss courses, current trends in museums, and career opportunities. The program regularly receives job and internship announcements, and we maintain profiles of over 100 museums in the Northeast and beyond.

Program Advisers:
Monica McTighe, Art and Art History Department
Emma Blake, Classics Department
Kathleen Weiler, Education Department
Benjamin Carp, History Department
