Museums, Archives and Public History
Undergraduate
The Nexus in Museums, Archives, and Public History allows you to explore careers which draw specifically on capacities developed in the study of the humanities. These fields require multiple literacies: professionals must be fluent in understanding, analyzing, and communicating about visual artifacts, material culture/objects, historical landscapes, and digital sources.
Program Overview
Additionally, you will take four credits of pre- and post-internship courses that facilitate thoughtful engagement with the internship opportunity. While the Nexus certificate requires one internship, a concentration in museums, archives, and public history depends upon internships as a component of professional training, so students undertaking the Nexus should explore a succession of internships at ÓûÂþɬ and elsewhere in a way that will allow them to develop a significant set of skills.
