Dear Shawn,
This is a carry-over from last week's thread...Virginia Tech does not have
a formal museum studies program although I have taught Museum Studies
courses there  under the auspices of my own department and the dept of Art
and Art History.  There is a doctoral program in Public Administration that
focuses more on government rather than cultural sector.
Virginia Commonwealth U is 5 hours from Wytheville and offers an M.A. in
Museum Studies through the Art History dept.  It is an excellent program,
but the only one in the state.
We have an active state museum association and a fledging Southwest
Virginia Museums list-serve.  Contact me off line and I will put you in
touch with those folks.

The closest university is Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, VA - I'm not sure of
what
they have in the way of museum studies.  Hollins College in Roanoke may offer
something, though I can't remember how far Roanoke is from Wytheville.  Radford
College is in the area and there are several other private colleges (that used
to be all girl schools) that may offer courses - Chatam College and Averett are
two names I remember.  Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA has an
art history department and they may have distance learning and the same may be
true of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.   Mary Baldwin in
Staunton another place to check for distance learning.  Yes,  Wytheville is in
the mountains.  I don't know how far it is from the U. of West VA - that may be
another possibility.

Hi all. It is possible my husband is about to be transferred to Wytheville, VA.
What universities around that area are available for museum studies,
distance or
other courses? Any of you know where Wytheville is? VERY far west, almost into
WV. An hour in any given direction would take you into another state.

Any help would be appreciated.
Shawn Weisser
