Proposal for New Graduate Certificate
Interdisciplinary Graduate Certificate in Cultural Museum Studies (Originally proposed as Interdisciplinary Graduate
Certificate in Museum Studies)
Tabled at 3 February 2011 meeting for discussion with ART and CMTA (Art Management) to explore inclusion of their courses to achieve the
interdisciplinary scope suggested by the title of for a title change). Tabled again at the 10 March 2011 meeting for a title change to better reflect the
specific focus (suggesting as a potential option “Museology”) - to facilitate the initiation of the certificate with that focus - and for a discussion with Arts
Management (specifically Ken Stevens and Susan Badger-Booth). For the April 7 meeting, the revised proposal was not received by the Arts Committee
chair until the night before this meeting, and was not submitted through CAS, which prevented the committee from reviewing it. Therefore, there was a
Motion to Amend the Agenda to remove this item for consideration at the May 2011 meeting: Unanimous.
With the title change and removal of Art references, there was a Motion to Approve: Approved Unanimously
