From previous strings on this list, I'd say graduate degree holders are
having a tough time getting decent museum jobs anyway.  Distance degrees are
probably acceptable as a credential by government agencies and certain other
large employers.  Museums, as part of the knowledge industry, "should" be
looking for professionals who bring to the job the knowledge and
self-confidence that the job requires.  Holding a graduate degree of any
kind gives no assurance that the applicant is qualified to do the job.
Holding a graduate degree from a highly respected program probably
facilitates being interviewed for an opening, at least.
