I may be biased since it is where I earned my degree, but the
Cooperstown Graduate Program is certainly a Museum Studies program
worthy of exploration. There is a strong mix of hands-on practice and
academic learning and wonderful opportunities to expand your own
education through internships with the institutions in Cooperstown.

Gretchen Sorin, the Director, always welcomes questions, and please feel
free to pass along my contact information to your colleague. 

Regards,

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Museum Studies - Where/How?

I am asking on behalf of a colleague who wishes to earn an M.A. in
Museum Studies (perhaps it is also referred to in somewhat different
ways?). 

She would like to have the opinion of this group as to the best
place/way these days to earn this degree. It should be a university or
comparable centre of higher learning in N.A. or Europe, which is a
degree-granting source recognized internationally. She would like to
know where she might best do this ...
1) in person
2) by means of some sort of distance/internet system

At this point, cost, location, etc., are still being considered. 

The place might vary depending on the way the degree might be earned. 

She has researched many possibilities, but would appreciate your
personal input at this point.

Thanks in advance for your help.
