This is a cross-disciplinary graduate certificate comprised of 9 credits of key coursework in the MA Program in Material Culture and Public Humanities. These courses focus on material objects and their placement in theoretical, cultural, and historical perspectives, as well as public representations of a wide range humanities-based knowledge. As such, the Certificate prepares students for careers in museums, historical societies, and other cultural organizations.
The MCPH Certificate is geared both to VT graduates in other MA/PhD programs who wish to focus on themes of material culture and public humanities, and to scholars from outside the VT community who may wish to pursue continuing education as “Commonwealth Campus” students in this non-degree program.
Most of the courses on the Certificate curriculum are either already accessible to distance learners or can be adapted for distance learners upon conversation with the instructor.
