Hi, i am working on a museum project here in Los Angeles and am unavailable to move out of the city recently, it has been brought to my attention that a MA in museum studies would be helpful my question concerns the distance learning program in museum studies at Leicester University- I checked the archives and it appears that Leicester has a very strong and respected museum program: my question, though, is this recognized? is the program accredited here in the US? (the web site states: CHNTO (Cultural Heritage National Training Organisation) validation and Museums Association recognition of the distance learning course is currently being sought- i am not sure what that means for us here) also my other fear is that it might look like i am buying my degree from a correspondence course- do you, in the museum world, have an opinion on this? or would you have any other recommendations for US schools who do distance learning in museum studies? thanks dk ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
