Our Graduates

Of students who graduated from 2018-2023, 75% are employed in museums, related businesses, or non-profits.

They are working in every area of museums and their job titles range from Curator to Director of Community Engagement to Exhibitions Manager to Executive Director.

They are working in every size museum across the US, Canada, and beyond. Many graduates are employed locally at institutions like the Seattle Art Museum, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, Museum of Flight, MoPOP, Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, Woodland Park Zoo, and National Nordic Museum. Across the U.S. they are working at museums like the Field Museum, Barack Obama Presidential Library, J. Paul Getty Museum, and LACMA.

Outside museums, our graduates work in education (from elementary schools to higher ed), libraries, arts and culture agencies, national parks, research and evaluation firms, and non-profits tackling climate change and public health crises.

What kinds of jobs do Museology graduates do?

Although many museum jobs refuse to fit into a neat and tidy category, the following is an attempt to speak broadly to the types of jobs our alumni do. We analyzed the roles of 177 alumni who graduated between 2018 and 2025 and work in museums or related settings. We coded each role as falling within one or more of 8 general categories. Below, you’ll find the percentage of roles that fell within each category, along with a few examples of roles that were deemed to fall within each category. Many roles fell within more than one category.

Getting more specific: examples of Museology alumni roles

Whereas the section above is intended to help you get a handle on the general types of roles our alumni take on, the following is intended to convey the complexity and diversity of their actual roles.

Below, you’ll find a list of roles that alumni who graduated between 2018 and 2023 held as of 2025. You’ll see here how many of these roles all within more than one of the above categories. You’ll also see the range of institution types in which these roles exist. Our alumni are well-positioned to be flexible and adaptable, taking on roles across a range of institution types.
