JFK University offers a dual degree for students interested in deepening their knowledge and skills in museum leadership and management: a dual degree in MA and MBA in Museum Studies.
This program can be completed in three years and students will earn two master's degrees: one in museum studies and one in business administration.
In the MA-MBA program, students will take the
full museum studies core curriculum and nine graduate business classes
in JFKU's School of Management. An internship at a museum is
also required. During the final year of coursework,
students will write an MA thesis in museum studies
that integrates management and museum practice and
theory.
This dual degree positions students for
dynamic careers in all aspects of museum leadership
and guides them toward sustainable, integrated
museum management practices that are badly needed in
museums and cultural centers of all sizes and
disciplines.
