If your U offers any arts administration classes, non-profit management
classes, marketing or business law, take them.  Look over course syllabi and
talk to professors on what your are trying to do.  They will be your best
guidance on what you can expect to learn in their classes.  Best of luck.

Subject: TOPIC 3: Don't Take THAT Class, Take THIS One!


I would like to address this as a student who is just getting into the
field.  I am an undergerduate working towards a BA in public history.  The
the requirements leave me with a choice of 15-18 credits that I can take in
anything.  What I can't decide is, should I take some basic finance classes
or computer programming classes, or even some type of law related classes?
 I have just started my second museum job and between this and my last
position I can see where any of these classes might be useful...My question
is what would be the most useful?

Thanks
