you mentioned tufts museum studies program which i attended 98-00. it is an excellent certificate/ professional program that offers its own independent certificate track as well as a combined courseload for those studying towards MA's in education/ psychology, art history, and history. because of the different backrgounds of the students, the program manages to address a range of museums, from children's museums and science museums to historic houses and fine arts galleries. there are combined and separate courses that address the interests of each track more specifically. while i highly recommend this program, i would speak with someone at the program directly to verify how well they cover the fields of anthropology and/or archeology.

i would be happy to discuss the specifics of this program with any one interested off-list.
does anyone know of a list-serve specifically for museum studies students?

thanks

  Check out Tufts Museum Studies program, in Medford MA.   Northeastern in Boston, also has a good Public History program.  Then there is Cooperstown of course.

    Hello,

    I was wondering if I could get anyone's opinion
    regarding museum studies programs. Currently I am
    looking into graduate schools that offer some type of
    museum studies. My bachelor's degree is in
    Anthropology/Archaeology and I have an interest in
    archaeological collections and curation/research. I
    am trying to decide whether it would be more
    beneficial to get a master's degree in Anthropology
    with a concentration in Museum Studies or if it would
    be better to get a master's in Museum Studies with a
    concentration in Anthropology. Does anyone have an
    opinion on which option is more marketable to museums
    (especially natural history museums) when looking for
    jobs?
    Also, I was wondering if there are any jobs within
    museums that are particularly in demand at this time.
    Any information or advice you can give me will be
    greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Sincerely,

    Andrew Harrington
