The MA program in art history and museum studies includes the same broad requirements and objectives as the MA program in art history, along with a year-long museum studies course and supervised museum internships.
These internships entail work on a specific project to be outlined by the student working with museum personnel, and approved by the departmental museum studies instructor. While most of these internships are undertaken at the Cleveland Museum of Art, with prior approval students may conduct their internships instead at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland, or at the Cleveland Clinic Art Program. The core course, language, and examination requirements are largely the same as for the MA in Art History. However, the museum internships substitute for the qualifying paper, two semesters of museum studies classes are required, and there are 9 (instead of 12) hours of electives required for the degree.
This guide was originally created in the spring of 2022 by Lauren Kozlowski during her internship at Ingalls Library as part of the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Case Western Reserve University Joint Program in Art History and Museum Studies.
