Introduction

The Master of Arts program in Museum Education is a study program within the art education department at Boston University. Students learn to teach visual art in a museum setting, design curricula for museum educational programs and perform curatorial and administrative duties associated with museum education departments. The program prepares students to address an art museum's contemporary educational needs through training in education, museum studies, and arts administration.
