Programs offered:
Minor in Museum Studies (TU)
Museums are non-profit institutions which collect, preserve, interpret, and protect our cultural heritage which is held in public trust. They include a broad range of types from art museums and historic homes to zoos and eco-museums. The management of these institutions requires special skills that a typical undergraduate program does not offer. This minor takes advantage of Oglethorpe’s location in one of the most dynamic cities in the southern United States, our relationships with local, regional, and national museums, and Oglethorpe University Museum of Art (OUMA), a teaching museum with a collection of 1,300 objects and affiliations with the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries (AAMG) and the Southeast Museums Conference (SEMC).
