Students enter the MSP certificate program with many different interests and career goals. Some seek careers in museums; some in academia; others in libraries and archives, non-profit art organizations, and for-profit companies and firms. Whatever their goals, students have found pursuing the certificate a rewarding and productive experience that has helped them to clarify and prepare to meet their career goals. Below is just a sample of career highlights for some of our alumni.
