I would advise anyone considering different programs to check them out for
themselves - ie: looking in-depth at catalogs, professors, etc. and to not
necessarily be guided by personal bias.  I, for one, am a graduate of the
Wright State Program in Public History and got quite a bit of good stuff out
of it, including a job.  In the area of Dayton and the Miami Valley, as well
as Ohio, there are a number of graduates who obtained jobs and in the field
of museums or archives and who also serve as mentors and advisors to Wright
State students, something else to look at.

Again, take everything with a grain of salt.
