Curatorial Studies Adv. Cert.

• Advanced Certificate in Curatorial Studies

The new Curatorial Certificate is a 12-credit program

For students currently enrolled in the Hunter MA or MFA programs, 6 of those 12 credits can be applied both toward the certificate and toward credit requirements within the existing 30 credit MA degree in Art History or the existing 48 credit MFA. Six are in addition to those credit limits in both programs.

The certificate program is a sequence of four courses designed specifically to offer both a theoretical and historical grounding in curatorial practices and practical experience in exhibition organization and display and object research and preservation.

You must meet the following minimum requirements in order to be considered for admission. Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance to the program.

• Bachelor’s degree
• Minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0

Currently Enrolled Hunter MA/MFA Students:

• Statement of Interest - Tell us why you want to acquire the curatorial certificate. What experience and goals do you have? 1-1 1/2 pages.
• Print off two referral forms or pick them up in person from the art department office. Hand the forms to two professors who know your work and are willing to recommend you.
• List the names of your recommenders on your application.
