Keni,
Sorry to jump into this conversation late. I have a public history
masters with a focus in museums from Wright State University, Dayton
Ohio. You should check with them.
Also, they need to know what the purpose of their minor will be so that
they can help their students focus their studies. You won't be able to
do everything and a minor is great for what it is, but how will it be
useful to the student. That should focus your course selection.
Sincerely,
Tracie Evans

Hello once again (today is my day for ListServ questions).
I have a history professor colleague whose department will be
launching an MA degree in Public History for 2008-09. They are thinking
about including a graduate-level minor in history museum studies. I
told him I'd ask the List for their thoughts on classes to include.
So, for all of you involved in history museums/historic
houses/historic sites/living history museums, who could one day hire a
graduate of this public history program, what would be the most useful
museum-related classes to offer. The minor would be 3 or 4 museum
courses --1 would be an introduction to museums, and it would include
3-6 credits of internship at a history-related museum/site. So, the
minor would look like:
Intro. to Museums
________________
________________
possibly 1 more class _________________
Internship
So what classes would be best for the history museum field in
these blank slots. Please note that they'd like to make the minor have
3-4 required courses, not 1 required and 2-3 electives, as they wouldn't
have the funding to offer a large variety of electives each term.
Also, if anyone knows of an MA Public History program that
offers a history museum minor, would you please forward me the link?
Thanks to all,
Keni
