Hello Has anyone mentioned TUFTS UNIVERSITY, in Medford, Massachusetts yet? One can pursue a MA degree in History / Education / or Art History & MUSEUM STUDIES or simply complete a certificate program in Museum Studies. I completed a History & Museum Studies degree and have no complaints. It worked well for me. It's one of the better programs on the east coast....
