Hello,
Following the recent string of messages about the value of higher
education, I have a question about a summer certificate program
in appraisal studies offered at George Washington University.
I'm in my last year of a MA art history/ Masters in Library Science
program and considering applying for this summer program.
My career interests are in art librarianship, but I am also interested
in working for an art dealer, auction house, or commercial gallery.
My question is this:  would earning a certificate in art appraisal
studies make me a more attractive job candidate for any of these
employers?  Aside from gratifying my own personal interests, it would
be nice to hear whether or not this program has value in the jobmarket.
Apologies if this listserv isn't quite the right audience... I would
very much appreciate any insights or direction you can provide.
Thank you!
