Hi Kate,
I would recommend you seriously consider the Distance Learning MA in
Museum Studies offered by Leicester University in the UK. It's top
notch, has a world reputation and I believe you would find it
affordable. And I am not just saying that because I have that MA!
Noel: I think you might want to be a little more measured before making
sweeping statements about a UK on-line Masters Degree in the UK lacking
rigour and "being less than US high school level". You don't mention the
university involved, but I sincerely hope you are NOT referring to the
Leicester program? I also assume you raised your issues with the
university concerned and allowed them sufficient time to respond?
Of course, I believe in free speech and one of the benefits of this
listserv is that it advocates just this. Neither am I trying to defend
UK academic institutions simply because I am British and live here! My
concern is that the less informed reading your comments might jump to
false conclusions about the high standards of Quality Control over
Degrees at all levels that we apply over here.
The views expressed above are my own.
Best Wishes,
Jerry Symonds, MA Museum Studies (Leicester University) - Senior
Internal Auditor, Historic Royal Palaces, Surrey England

JHU Museum Studies Masters is amazing! It is incredibly rigorous but
the amount and range of learning is unparalleled, in my opinion. It is
a bit costly but infinitely worth it.
I was enrolled previously in an on-line masters at a university in the
UK and withdrew after 6 weeks because there was no rigor whatsoever. It
was less than US high school level.
So...go JHU!

Suggestions? Guidance?
I am currently enrolled in George Washington University's Distance
Education Graduate Certificate in Museum Collections Management and
Care. This has been a good experience for me, as it is a flexible
program allowing me to still work full time. I have found it to be
relatively affordable for graduate classes. For additional information
on the program and specific classes offered check out this link:

Hope this helps!

Hey all,
I have a MA in Art History but haven't gotten an internship because I am
in no financial situation where I can move somewhere for one, but may be
able to do some online museum studies courses because I work a full-time
job (insurance) and a part-time job once a week as well. I'm feeling
detached from my goal of working in a museum and need to keep adding
useful experience to my CV. My question is, what places offer GOOD
online courses for museum studies that are affordable?? I want the
freedom to be able to choose one, possible two classes at a time to keep
myself growing toward my goal, but feel hesitant about applying to do
another graduate degree when I already have a bagillion student loans
weighing on me.
Much thanks.
