Online Museum Studies Degree :: Accredited Universities

Museums of the 21st century are evolving. They’re increasing in number, expanding in size, and attracting more diverse audiences every day. Innovations in information and communication technologies are challenging museums to rethink their approach and transform the museum experience to keep up with the intellectual curiosity of today’s learners. The need has never been greater for leaders with the knowledge and skills to face these challenges and create a vision for the museums of the future.

The Johns Hopkins MA in Museum Studies offers a perspective on the theory and practice of museums in a changing technological, social and political environment. Geared for current and future museum professionals, it emphasizes technology’s critical role in today’s museum. It also examines new models of education, exhibition, and business strategies while exploring the role of the museum as an agent of social change.

We welcome students from around the world interested in all types of museums including history, technology, science, art, special topic or themed museums, historic sites, national parks and zoos as well as those interested in exhibitions for corporations, government agencies and private organizations.

The majority of the program is available online, allowing us to offer the expertise of highly regarded professors and museum professionals from around the world. You’ll also have access to innovative virtual field trips and global resources from a wide array of museums brought together in new and exciting ways.
