Graduate Certificate - Museum Management and Curatorship (ACM)

The 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.

Students will take this post-graduate certificate program during three consecutive semesters. The program is designed to meet the needs of students who want to acquire applied skills-based training for careers in the museum/gallery or heritage sectors. 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. 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 College students. This is where students will attend the majority of their lectures. As well, students will do practical training at this museum.
