Hi Zack, I am currently taking the Distance MA in Museum Studies with Leicester and so far I have to say that I am really enjoying it. It is a lot of hard work (sometimes it doesn't feel like a part-time degree), but the university has a great support network for distance students. You have access to their on-line library, have module and pastoral tutors and have a list-server to discuss topics with fellow students. The module packs they send contain everything you need for the course, including audio and video tapes and books. They also supply you with additional reading lists should you wish to read around a subject. There is also a summer school held for 1 week each year which is worth the effort to get to. It allows you to put faces to those names you become familiar with through the list-server and is an opportunity to meet you tutors. I'm based between New York and the UK so I have to pay the International fees. You can pay in 3 installments each year (but it's up to you to remember when they are due) or you can pay a lump sum for each year. I think it works out to be around $9000 -$10,000 for the entire course but don't take my word for it (I paid a lump sum to get it over and done with and have erased how much it hurt my bank balance from my memory!) At the moment I'm finishing off my Module 2 essay which is due on the 7th November, so I'll have to scoot off. If you have any more questions feel free to get in contact, Good luck Emma B > Can anyone who has been involved with the University > of Leicester's Museum > Studies Distance Learning Program give me their > opinions about the program? > Lastly, what are the general costs of the program > (in terms of US dollars)? > Thanks all. > > Best Regards, > Zack Baughman > > [log in to unmask] > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Choose an Internet access plan right for you -- try > MSN! > http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp > > ========================================================= > Important Subscriber Information: > > The Museum-L FAQ file is located at > http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
