I support the idea of distance learning offered for a graduate program
in Museum Studies.  The thought of quitting a good job and becoming a
starving graduate student again is not an attractive idea.  A leave of
absence for only a couple of months for on-site workshops may also be a
good bargaining tool in obtaining employer educational support.

A thesis or project based program with offerings from other departments
such as architecture, business, design, computer studies, art,
anthropology or history would be another attractive feature.

Thank you for asking.
