Matthew,<br>At my program, you are required to do a concentration: registration, exhibition development, administration, or education. you take two core courses giving oversight to the general workings of museums and a thesis project.&nbsp; The other classes are a blend on hands on activities, field trips, and lectures from the professors and guest speakers.<br>
<br>There is a lot of reading, but it is mostly on the practical knowledge that is needed on the job. I am a first year, and it is very intense. I am coming straight from undergrad with a BA in history and second major: phil. I am used to the reading and papers, but then again school is always stressful. I am focusing on registration but am also going to try to get experience in other areas. I am interested in exhibition development. <br>

When I went to graduate school museum studies was a very intense course. How intense is it? Is there a lot of reading like history or is it more hands on work like library science?<br>
