I, too, am interested in Exhibit Design and have looked into the program at
The University of the Arts in Philadelphia.  Advice that I have received from
professionals in the field has suggested that a master's degree is not
essential, and have recommended Interior Architecture and Industrial Design
programs.  My question leap-frogs off of Rosie's: If I have a BA in a liberal
arts field (English) and many years of museum experience (collections,
exhibit planning, development), what should I do to pursue my interest in
Exhibit Design?  Many of the schools that offer degree programs in Interior
Design are very competitive and require art or design backgrounds.  I am
concerned that I will need to earn a second BA to ensure that I have the
proper coursework.

Rosie, I looked at the Interior Design Educators Council webpage:
www.idec.org/gradprograms.htm. Most of these are post-professional programs,
however.

Thank you for any input.

Amy Miller
