I would be interested in replies on list with comments as well on the value of
a MS/MA in education. I have a similar science background (MS engineering) and
have been working in an education setting. In moving into a museum career,
what degree would be more valuable, the Museum Studies degree or a masters in
informal science/math education?
Thanks, Catherine

Hello all,
I have applied to graduate school for both Museum Studies and an MBA for this
coming fall. As the deadline for making a decision comes closer, I am
wondering how to make the best decision. I have a science background, and have
worked for a non-profit for the past two years. I am interested in science
education and felt Museum Studies would be a great option given that I am not
interested in teaching in a traditional classroom setting. I also applied to
some top-ten business schools, thinking that if Museum Studies programs did
not work out I would try and pursue a more general degree and hopefully
transition back into the non-profit and/or science field post-MBA.
My questions to this list are:
1. How useful is an MBA in trying to pursue a career in the museum field?
What advantages
would it give me over other potential job candidates?
2. What advantages does a Museum Studies degree give a candidate that an MBA
would not?
Thank you in advance.
