The final master's degree project does not itself carry any course credit. The typical course schedule for a student in the graduate program is outlined below. All required seminars, proseminars, and practicums must be taken in the semesters indicated. Courses are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at the Center and on Thursdays at museums and other locations in New York City. Fridays are left free of regularly scheduled courses so that students can view current exhibitions and visit museums in New York City and elsewhere in the area.
All elective courses are open to students in both tracks.

The project is supervised by a review committee, made up of the student's faculty adviser and two additional faculty members. On occasion, a scholar, critic, or museum professional who is not on the Center faculty may serve on a student's project review committee. Students have formal consultations with members of their project review committee at each stage of their final master's degree project.
