Survey commenced by Sean P. Sonderman and Nancy Walters, 1995
Updated by Peter Koch, Mountain Heritage Center, July 2000
North Carolina Museums Council Student Affairs Committee
The following directory is an updated survey of all private and public, four-year colleges and universities in the state of North Carolina. The purpose of the survey is to determine which North Carolina institutions offer museum-related programs and/or courses. The researcher updated a five-year old survey in July, 2000. If an institution is not detailed in the survey, it offered no known museum-related course work at that time. Please send any updates, corrections, or information about additional programs to Peter Koch.
The researcher surveyed college and university anthropology, art, and history departments, design schools, and other departments that offer museum training or experience. Entries include degrees offered (if any), contact persons (when available), telephone numbers, web addresses, course listings, and additional information.
The survey is divided into public and private institutions. It is obvious from the survey results that public institutions dominate the field in quantity and variety of courses offered. This survey does not, however, judge program or course quality.
Listed courses are only those that directly include museum training. Course offerings vary in their availability. Some are offered every semester while others are offered once every three years, for example. Many of the colleges and universities have ties with local museums and historic sites and therefore offer hands-on experiences.
