This course is designed for museum educators. It prepares them in developing educational programs and plans for diverse types of museums and alternative learning sites. It exposes the students to current issues and trends in museum education such as interdisciplinary and integrated learning, and issues of diversity. Methods of interpreting works of art, artifacts and collections are studied. An extensive "theory into practice" component provides students with the opportunity to apply theory to actual permanent collections and temporary exhibition projects at area museums.
