Master of Information and Master of Museum Studies

While students in either of the two programs could pursue their interests separately, the Combined Degree Program (CDP) allows students to gain greater expertise and strengths in the cross-section of the two programs. It is expected that students pursuing the CDP would have interests such as: museum informatics, digital cultural heritage, cultural information policy, the intersection of cultural memory institutions (libraries, archives, and museums), digital curation and use of social networking technologies in museums. Students accepted into both participating programs may register concurrently in both programs with the permission of each Graduate Coordinator. The CDP is available for full-time studies only. The minimum period of registration required to complete both degrees in the CDP is three years, instead of four years, if done separately. The time limit to complete the CDP is four years.All CDP students complete the required courses of both the MI and MMSt degree programs and electives. CDP is offered on a full-time basis and is designed to be completed in 3 years (with a maximum allowed duration of 4 years).

An appropriate 4–year bachelor’s degree from a recognized university is required. The degree may be in any discipline or area of study. The degree must normally contain a minimum of 75% academic credits—that is, courses that are not professional, practical, technical or vocational courses. Courses such as studio art, drama, music performance, theology, education, or library science are not normally considered to be sufficiently academic in content for admissions purposes.A mid-B equivalent is required for consideration. This is the minimum GPA requirement for consideration. Presenting a mid-B average does not guarantee admissions.Transcript(s) from all post-secondary institution in attendance and attended
