Taylor Hunt

Master of Arts in Museum Studies, Spring 2026

With a museum studies degree, I can pursue roles such as a curator, collection manager, or other specialized positions within a museum environment. These positions often prefer candidates who have a dedicated museum studies background rather than only a general history degree, making this qualification more valuable for my future career. I believe that earning this degree from a reputable institution like the University of Oklahoma will significantly enhance my credentials and open up more advanced and fulfilling opportunities in the museum and cultural sector. I have gone through various online programs, which have been very helpful in enhancing my understanding. These courses are easier to follow compared to traditional classroom learning, and they provide detailed guidance on building course paperwork and managing class materials effectively. Both professors and students are highly supportive, fostering a collaborative and encouraging academic environment.

Lyle J. Clason

Master of Arts in Museum Studies, December 2026

I came into the program nearing retirement, already managing a large government history program with a museum. My goals were to learn the academic underpinnings for museums and learn new practical skills. Although I didn't have any actual post-retirement career goals, the OU Online Museum Studies program has allowed me to make significant contributions to my community's history organizations, both as an advisor and as a volunteer curator. The best things about the OU Online program are its academic rigor, the quality of its professional museum faculty, and the embrace of students from across the full spectrum of age, experience, geography, and gender. These are the qualities that make the OU Online Museum Studies a unique offering and one of the country’s most well-known and respected museum online programs.
