Museum Studies Certificate Program (MSCP)
The Museum Studies Certificate Program (MSCP) at East Los Angeles College and the Vincent Price Art Museum is a seven-course program (21-units) that provides a broad foundation of knowledge and professional work experience in the museum sector.
Open to all student at ELAC, the program draws upon coursework in Art History, Library Science, Studio Art, Anthropology, and Archaeology, and includes museum internships and unique academic and professional development opportunities. The program is designed to accompany the Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) degree in Art History, which together can be completed in 2 years of full-time study at ELAC. The MSCP may also be pursued as a stand-alone certificate program for students with a general interest in museums. The stand-alone certificate program typically takes 2 years of part-time study.
