Students currently admitted to a graduate program at the University of Memphis or another university and individuals already holding a graduate degree (MA, MFA, MS, PhD) may apply for admission to the Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate Program in Museum Studies.

Students already enrolled in a graduate program are required to have a minimum GPA of 3.0 for admission to the Museum Studies certificate program.

Students may not be concurrently enrolled in more than one certificate program at a time.

Students attending an institution of higher education other than the University of Memphis must apply to the Graduate School for admission as a Non-Degree Seeking student.

In rare instances, students who have completed an undergraduate degree program, but who have not been admitted to a graduate program, may apply and will be considered for admission to the program on an individual basis. For more information on this option, contact Dr. Luebbers.

All applications to the museum studies certificate program will be reviewed by the Admissions and Advisory Committee. The Committee may also interview prospective students in order to ensure a good fit between the program and the individual student's needs.

1.  be admitted to the Graduate School of The University of Memphis

      http://www.memphis.edu/gradschool/applicant.php
