Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN has a Public History department offering minors in Museum Studies, Cultural Resources Management, and an excellent (well-respected) program in Historic Preservation. The degree requirements are strict by most standards - both comprehensive exams and thesis are required. I have found the faculty there to be top-notch. Cost of living in the area is relatively low.
