Cultural Heritage Stewardship certificate

The Graduate Academic Certificate in Cultural Heritage Stewardship will provide students with key skills and experiences needed for competitive careers in museum archives and other cultural heritage settings. Students will learn the theory that drives the practice through hands-on learning experiences in grant writing, museum education, preservation, and museum archiving.

Understanding how and why individuals and communities engage with cultural heritage institutions is vital to the preservation of both heritage and citizenship in the US. Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) that exhibit cultural heritage collections allow visitors to seriously engage with materials that push them to learn about themselves, their communities, and the world at large.  These institutions are also responsible for the appraisal of which materials are deemed worthy of preservation as cultural heritage.  In response to the national need for workforce in museum archives, this graduate academic certificate, with an emphasis on the preservation of museum collections, serves archivists, preservation specialists, and other information professionals which are critical to the stewardship of cultural heritage collections in museums and archives.
