David, You develop your course such as in Public History, Museology, Museum Management, Interpretation/Living History (other words, tailor it to your own interest and career), etc., I worked with my core advisor and field advisor (who is a museum professional) using studies from other universities to make sure it is to standards. It turned out to be a very extensive program and educational. It is not a "correspondence" course, but distant learning (you meet with students and your Core Advisor quarterly, and your Field Advisor(s) as often as possible. And for those working FULL time, having families or do not have a grad school that offers Museum related courses in the community or region, this is an exceptional way to do it. I lived in Eastern Washington at the time, and things worked out well. Trips to Seattle and California was necessary to complete the program, but offered me time to meet with other students and present my papers and get feedback. In a program at a "typical" university, you are stuck in what the professors want to teach (and that is good) but it may have nothing to do with your own interest or career. I felt I needed to focus more on my own field of interest and found this type of "package" better suited. David, I have my bibliography, my field of study on my web site listed below if you are interested in how I set up my program. You can move around my site through my homepage. Best.
