Ms. Kenney,
I applaud your efforts to compile a good list of programs. Please note
that you have listed one program which is, sadly, no longer in existence
(University of Nebraska) and left off one--the University of Kansas
Museum Studies Program has been in existence since 1981 and now has 135
graduates, most (more than 80%) actively working in the field.
Thanks,
John

I have compiled a list of programs for my Museums site
at BellaOnline:
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art26174.asp
I know it isn't complete, so if there is a program I
didn't include, please let me know off-list and I will
add it!
