Overview

Graduate Certificate - Museum Management and Curatorship

Museum Management and Curatorship is an intensive, fast-paced, immersion experience at Fleming College that provides applied training for careers in the museum, gallery or heritage sectors. 

Approximately 75% of classes are held at the Peterborough Museum & Archives.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Museum Managers and Curators don't just preserve the relics, stories, and memorabilia of the past. They animate and interpret it, bringing history to life for people of all ages and stages. 

You will take this post-graduate certificate program for three consecutive semesters

The courses have been developed in consultation and co-operation with museums and heritage organizations in order to offer a real, not simulated, work experience. 

The updated curriculum reflects practical applications of theory, beyond best practices rooted in ethical applications. 

The program is an optimal blend of independent study, in-class lectures, discussion, group work, applied projects, experience-based and priceless hands-on learning.

The Peterborough Museum & Archives, a City-owned and operated institution, is the program's main learning partner and has designated spaces for Fleming students. 

This is where you will attend the majority of your lectures. As well, you will do practical training at this museum.

Students find it more convenient to look for accommodation near the museum or downtown, as opposed to on campus.

Classes are also held in the dedicated conservation laboratory and computer labs at the College's Sutherland Campus.

By being immersed in museum work, you'll experience the complexity and diversity of tasks/duties in small to medium-sized museums or galleries and acquire training to be an expert generalist. 

You will need to complete site work, research, and group projects and be prepared for off-campus teaching outside of "regular" day classes.

Please note: This program is extremely time-intensive, including class time, lab time, demonstrations and simulations, site visits, twilight classes, working in situ on applied projects and working in teams. 

Students who are able to fully commit their time to enjoy the most success will benefit greatly from the program's authentic learning experience and assessments.
