I second Marc. I attended Univ. of DE for an MA in history and a certificate in museum studies. I absolutely loved both programs, and the funding was a big bonus. If your daughter is looking for a very hands-on practical education in museums, especially small or mid-sized ones, I would highly encourage looking at UD.

The nice part about the MSST certificate is that it draws in students from a variety of disciplines, so I worked alongside students of botany, chemistry, history, art history, and more. As with most programs, there are required internship hours. The program director really fights for her graduate students to receive paid internships, attend conferences (like the Small Museum Conference in February each year), and really build up a network of local professionals. It's a well-rounded program with lots of room for growth and lots of support. I'm happy to answer any questions or put your daughter in touch with the very helpful people at UD.
