Through a

Students integrate disparate bodies of knowledge and, through the multidisciplinary faculty and curriculum, encounter varied perspectives on the museum field, and craft a critical, self-reflective understanding of the roles and potential power of museums in society. Collaboration:
The program teaches, models, and applies the skills and attitudes necessary to the success of team-based work and encourages students to explore the relationships of power and authority that are inherent in collaborations of all sorts. Inclusion:
Diverse perspectives, experiences, and traditions are included, valued, and promoted, with a particular interest in increasing access to and the value of museums for communities. Leadership:
Through experiences and reflection, students master skills, ethics, and values required to be leaders in the museum field, whatever their professional roles.
