Marist-LdM Graduate Degree ProgramThe Master of Arts in Museum Studies is offered by Marist College and the Lorenzo de' Medici Institute, starting in 2010, with courses taught at LdM Florence. The M.A. in Museum Studies offers students an advanced, in-depth exploration of how museums operate within their social and cultural contexts. Museums are studied from an international comparative perspective, with a special emphasis on examining the ways in which these institutions engage with the public. Guest lectures by museum professionals expose students to a wide variety of international perspectives, widening their horizons, while visits to museums, historical monuments, archives, libraries, and other institutions essentially use Florence as a classroom.The location is appropriate not only because of world-renowned museums like the Uffizi, but because Florence was central to defining what museums are in the past, and is still a crossroads for activities and debates. Not only does the degree program integrate students within local museum culture, it offers them hands-on exposure to real-world museum research and practices. Special emphasis is placed on internship experience where students prepare to manage collections, organize exhibitions and museum events, develop management principles, and/or assist in public outreach and marketing. Lectures, visits and internships all facilitate the important transition from student to museum professional. The Master of Arts degree requires completion of a minimum of 34 credit hours, including the Master's thesis. The degree may be completed in one calendar year (Fall, Spring and the following Summer sessions). Session One (Fall): Session Two (Spring): Pick Three from: Session Three (Summer): For more information on earning your M.A. in Museum Studies through the Marist-LdM Graduate Degree Program, please visit http://www.marist.edu/florence.
