I got accepted into the GW program many years ago (1983) and would have
gone there for exactly the reasons Tracy states below. The reason I
didn't is because at the time GW didn't offer a graduate art history
program, and the rules were that you needed to have an academic
department to affiliate with at the graduate level along with the Museum
Studies program. I decided that art history was more important to me,
so I chose to pursue a straight art history M.A. and got the museum
training afterwards.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Museum Studies MA reputations
I will have to put my 2 cents in re GW.
I graduated with an MA in museum studies from GW in 2002. It's an
amazing
program, with fabulous faculty and very good course selection. You can
mold the program to your interests, which is great -- you can mix
anthropology with collections management, administration with American
Studies, exhibition design with history, or whatever else you can
imagine
.
In addition, there are some of the nation's finest museums in the
Washington, DC area -- these provide not only good resources for study,
but also for internships.
The GW program has a wide network of alums and I would argue that it
does
,
in fact, stand out amongst the group of programs you have listed.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them.
Good luck with your decision.
