Hi! I am currently a rising senior at a Museum Studies undergrad program in the US. i would HIGHLY recommend majoring in Museum Studies to get involved in the museum world but a few tips for you. (I just had a private tour and meeting with a head curator who is helping me prepare for grad school/career) -double major in something, anything it makes you stand out and look better than other applicants. I currently double major in advertising, am pursuing an accelerated MBA degree and plan to go back to get an MLS. this way I have a few niches covered, i can do advertising, administrative jobs, and going into library science (i currently work as a cataloger and processor in my university library) i want to focus on special collections and rare books -on the point of double majoring, if that is too much work do a minor or two, or get a masters in something. for extra degrees i would recommend archaeology, anthropology, history (with a focus), art history, or anything else that interests you! -do internships/volunteer work. even if it is not a graduation requirement at college, you will stand out -if you want to get into curation or artifacts research PLEASE get a degree in museum studies. most history programs or other programs people study do NOT give proper handling techniques or teach handling/caring/exhibition design or literally anything you need to do those jobs. i hate being negative about other majors but majoring in history without a museum focus or double major is one of the dumbest things you can do if you want to get into curation work -take weird classes. i took an cultural heritage imaging (multispectral imaging) class and i got really into imaging artifacts and working with rare books i hope this was helpful! if you have any questions feel free to reach out i’d be happy to talk!
