The Harvard Extension School offers a certificate in Museum Studies. The School is very experience with distance ed, but for the first time this semester Museum Studies is experimenting with a course that is offered in-person and online - IT for Museums and Non-Profits, a course taught by Katherine Jones and myself. I expect that this will be a successful experiment and I hope that the program with expand its online offerings, but I cannot speak for their plans in any official way.

Hello museum listers -- I was wondering if there are any colleges/universities that offer a masters program in museum studies via distance education. I noticed that George Washington U. is thinking about it, but has not made the transition yet. If anyone knows of an institution that does this, I would love to hear about it.

Thank you!
