Hi Jennifer - You didn't mention what type of job you were planning on taking in a large art museum. Getting a Masters in Art History may be good if you are going curatorial track, but if you are pursuing a registrarial/collections mgmt. position (of which there are certainly more in large art museums) you probably want a graduate degree in Museum Studies with a core in Art History. Before you get your graduate degree, make sure you've volunteered/interned in the types of museums for which you want to work later on. I like the "informational interview" idea that everyone has been talking about. Rebecca L.

I'm an undergraduate student in Museum Studies, and I am planning on going to grad school for Art History. My goal is to work in a large art musrum or gallery like the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Modern Art, or even the National Gallery. Does anyone have any reccomandations for good master's degree-granting art history programs? I'm looking for a state supported school in a large-to-medium city (doesn't matter which state, since out of state tuition is usually cheaper than any private school) Also, what should I look for in a master's program? Thanks!
