Course Description

Program Description Make history come alive, create meaningful stories by documenting and preserving our heritage for today and future generations. Museum Managers and Curators don't just preserve the relics, stories, and memorabilia of the past. They animate and interpret it, bringing history to life for people of all ages and stages. Put your college diploma or university degree to work in the service of a society that needs to know its past -- in order to inform the future. You will take this post-graduate certificate program during three consecutive semesters. The program is designed to meet the needs of students who want to acquire applied skills-based training for careers in the museum/gallery or heritage sectors. The courses have been developed in consultation and co-operation with museums and heritage organizations in order to offer a real, not simulated, work experience. Updated curriculum reflects best practices rooted in ethical applications. The program is an optimal blend of independent study, in-class lectures, discussion, group work and applied projects.
