	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
