Museum Studies at IUPUI is a multidisciplinary curriculum that prepares people to be self-reflective leaders in the museum field. Students can focus on training paths in education, exhibit development, administration, collections, or curatorial practices, or they can take a range of classes in preparation for the varied responsibilities of small museums and historic sites.

The Museum Studies Program is housed in the IU School of Liberal Arts on the IUPUI campus. IUPUI, a partnership between Indiana University and Purdue University, is an urban university within walking distance of half a dozen museums and an easy commute to many others throughout Indianapolis. We have close connections with area museums, and our classes incorporate museum projects, applied research, and guest lecturers to help students connect concepts, theories, and methods to real-world practice. Museums also offer internship opportunities and job networking for students in the program. Hands-on learning and community engagement is a hallmark of our program!
