Cooperstown Graduate Program History

Founded in 1964, the Cooperstown Graduate Program was one of the first training programs in the United States for museum professionals. The original concentrations of the program gradually evolved into a History Track and a Science Track within the Museum Studies Master’s degree. CGP is one of the few museum studies programs in the country to offer a science-focused museum education.
