The Professional Certificate training is comparable to the Master of Science degree training, without the coursework in the disciplinary specialty and the thesis or project required for the M.S. degree. For graduate students in other university departments, the course work in a specialty discipline is provided by M.A./M.S. or Ph.D. programs in their home department. For museum professionals, additional disciplinary work is available as appropriate upper division undergraduate or graduate coursework taken as electives under the non-degree study plan available in the ACCESS program through Continuing Education. A "hands-on" practicum that deals with collections at the University of Colorado Museum may be taken as appropriate and available, but it is not a requirement for the Professional Certificate. The curriculum for a Professional Certificate in Museology requires a minimum of 12 credit hours taken from the core museology sequence of the Museum and Field Studies Masters degree program. The four required courses are: Introduction to Museum Studies (5011) 4 credit hours And three of the following five courses: Museum Education (5030) 3 credit hours Collections Management (5051) 3 credit hours Exhibit Development (5031) 3 credit hours Museum Administration (5041) 3 credit hours Advanced Seminar in Museum Issues (or similar advanced seminar) (6110) 1-3 credit hours Plus 75 hours of internship for the Certificate Program.
