Faculty and Staff

The program emphasizes the connection between the academic and the professional, between best practices in the field and what is taught in the classroom. Both full-time faculty have extensive experience working in the museum world; in addition, the department benefits from the experience of current museum professionals, both as teachers of classes and as guest lecturers, who share their knowledge of what is happening in the museum world today.
