Canada has 2,500 museums and related institutions which include not-for-profit museums, art galleries, science centres, aquaria, archives, sports halls-of-fame, artist-run centres, zoos, and heritage sites that attract more than 59 million visitors annually; a further 60 million visit our historic sites and natural parks. These types of establishments/facilities require professionals trained in a very particular skill set and thus equipped, able to manage such culture and heritage resources.
Learners will be engaged in practical management courses as well as industry-based subjects relevant to this largely publicly run or not-for-profit culture and heritage sector pursuing an in-depth exploration of issues and cases pertinent to current challenges confronting cultural and heritage organizations at home and abroad. Partnerships with local, regional, provincial and national institutions and establishments will facilitate in-session learner field placement during the second semester.
