The Museum Studies program at San Francisco State University is a top-notch and highly competitive graduate program. Of the hundred or so students who apply for admission to the major, only a fraction are accepted. SFSU awards a band of scholarships based on varying combinations of academic merit and financial need. Students are automatically matched to various programs upon admission and many receive funding. Because the Museum Studies program falls under the College of Humanities, students may qualify for scholarships in that way as well.
