The Master of Arts in Material Culture and Public Humanities program at Virginia Tech is designed for students interested in understanding how people create, use, and interpret the objects and environments around them. This interdisciplinary program explores the ways material culture shapes human experience and how these meanings can be communicated to broader audiences. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of theoretical frameworks and practical methods used in the study of material culture. The program emphasizes critical analysis, research skills, and engagement with public-facing humanities projects. Graduates are prepared for careers in museums, archives, historical societies, heritage organizations, and other fields that require expertise in cultural interpretation and public engagement.
