Department Statement

The Arts, Cultural Management, and Museums Studies Program consists of two undergraduate minors (ACM, Museum Studies) and three graduate offerings (M.A. in ACM&MS, graduate certificate in MS, graduate certificate in ACM).

Arts and Cultural Management (ACM) at MSU is a multidisciplinary program that provides students with the knowledge and skill set to succeed in creative, artistic administrative and entrepreneurial positions within arts and cultural organizations. Students pursue practical opportunities related to the management of, and advocacy for, arts and cultural organizations and entrepreneurial artistic careers.

Museum Studies (MS) at MSU introduces and prepares students to become museum professionals of the future in institutions that are transforming to serve expanding audiences. The program provides knowledge in a wide variety of careers in museums and interpretive centers by focusing on interdisciplinary knowledge, global issues, community engagement, and informal learning. Courses are interdisciplinary and may include students in natural history, art, history, and anthropology, among other fields. Faculty work with museums and collections on campus and in the area.

Across our entire program, we share a commitment to the following values:

Flourishing—thriving, facilitating meaning, doing what matters, enabling curiosity, being intentional, reflective, and compassionate

Interconnectedness—relationship-building, collaborative, integrated, embracing diversity, equitable, coherent, harmonious

Resilience—customizable, flexible, adaptive, innovative, relevant, ethical, fresh, trusting in emergence
