In 2017, the Mayborn Museum Complex hosted the temporary exhibit, Women in STEM. The exhibit was the brainchild of two Museum Studies students, Courtney Berge and Valencia Johnson.

The Department of Museum Studies is located within the Mayborn Museum Complex which surrounds students with many academic and career opportunities. This new multidisciplinary museum serves as a living laboratory where students apply their classroom learning by participating in all aspects of the museum's daily operations. More opportunities for experience in the museum field are available because of a phenomenal concentration of cultural resource sites located throughout Waco. This unique scenario is enhanced with personalized education and training from a experienced and dedicated faculty.
