I would definitely recommend the University of South Carolina's Public
History graduate program. We offer an MA in Archives, Historic
Preservation, or Museum Studies, as well as a certificate in Museum
Management (the latter can be elected with any graduate degree at the
University). All three tracks combine methods courses in and out of the
track with historiography courses and a specialization in US history either
pre or post Civil War. I think there is also coursework and internships
available in documentary editing (not film, historic papers). Alumni seem
to find good jobs, and the program is large and well known (there was
recently an article on us in Chronicle of Higher Ed). Internships are
available at various local institutions like Historic Columbia, McKissick
Museum on campus, South Carolinana Library & University Archives on campus,
SC Archives & History Center, State Museum, Columbia Museum of Art, and
more . . . many students go to Smithsonian or other places further afield
as well. There's also a joint degree program with the library school and a
developing Cultural Resource Management program with the Anthropology
department. www.cla.sc.edu/HIST/PUBHIST.
