The Program in Museum Studies welcomes almost forty new students every year, and the two-year Master's Programs encounters seventy-eighty students annually, about ten percent of whom are international students from Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The Program has an active Student Organizaton (MSSO) and Alumni Association (MSSA) that aim to enrich an academic and social life of Museum Studies students and graduates and to develop networking relationships with alumnae currently working in the museum field and with the graduate students from other NYU departments.
