Yes, the University of South Carolina Museum Studies grad certificate
program is very cool.  Two required classes (museology & museography), an
internship at McKissick, an accredited university museum which regularly
produces their own shows and has a fantastic folklife program, and an
elective (history & theory of museums or independent readings).  We are in
the process of developing a cultural resources management program, and we
also have a museums track in the award-winning public history MA program
headed by Kasey Grier which incorporates all of the above plus a material
culture course, US history graduate seminars, and courses in preservation,
archiving, and documentary editing (the other public history tracks).
There are excellent programs in library science and anthropology (although
not museum-oriented, it is developing a CRM program); art history is also a
good department, and it would be possible to get a lot of contacts and some
experience with film archiving and curatorial practices(although no formal
coursework or internships) through the Newsfilm Library and the Orphans of
the Storm symposium.

(why, oh why can't I be a grad student so they let me into all these
wondeful classes, wept the poor little wanna-be museum anthropology and
film major)
