Students are able to create a major that integrates their specific interests.
Museum studies can be combined with other majors, including education, biology, and fine arts. The Museum Studies Program begins with an introductory course through which students analyze the history, philosophy, and management of museums. Internships supplement this theoretical introduction by giving students practical experience as curators, interpreters, or researchers. Conner Prairie is an outdoor living history museum that operates as an 1836 village, the Conner Estate, and the Pioneer Adventure Center. The settlement enables visitors to see, experience, and understand how Indiana's first generation lived, worked, and played.
