MUSE 6891 - Administration of Museums, Historic Sites, and Science Centers

Credits: 3
This course aims to introduce students to management issues and topics that apply to museum, archive, historic site, and science center management and give students tools and strategies to navigate these issues. This course focuses on all aspects of administrative functions of museums: governance, financing, grant-writing, public relations, marketing, human resources, accreditation, and museum law and ethics. To promote a hands-on experience, some class sessions will be held off-campus at museums, archives, historic sites, and science centers.
