I recently graduated from the George Washington University's Museum Studies
program; I'd be happy to talk to your about it off-list. GW has a program in
Museum Studies with a concentration in Anthro, as well as an MA program in
Anthro with a concentration in Museum Studies. Both departments are excellent,
and work together closely. Another thing in GW's favor is the close ties both
departments have with the various Smithsonian museums for internships and
employment.

>Hello,

>I was wondering if I could get anyone's opinion
>regarding museum studies programs.  Currently I am

>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.
