Jessica,

At the University of Southern California (USC, not UCLA) there is a
graduate level program for Museum Studies within the department of art
history (part of the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences).  Upon
completion, you receive a masters in art history with Museum Studies.
Three years, full time.  Last year is internship.  First two years are
classwork and an exhibition project which results in a catalogue
publication and exhibition at Fisher Gallery (USC's art museum).  The
program is excellent, combining a degree in a discipline with concentrated
museum training in collections management, acquisitions, finance, law,
exhibition analysis, etc.

Director of program:  Dr. Selma Holo
