The George Washington Univeristy and New York University offer
post-graduate certificates in Museum Studies for people who already
have a M.A.  The programs are usually one year.  I've never heard of a
PhD program in Museum Studies, at least in the United States.

All of the degree programs I've come across are M.A. programs.  I,
however,
decided to enter the museum field after I already had an M.A. and am
wondering what Ph.D. programs might be available.  I am interested in all
aspects of the museum field dealing with understanding and improving
the
visitor's experience - which can fall into any of what I refer to as the
three Es: Education, Evaluation research, and Exhibit development.  What
programs are out there and which ones will be the most useful in my
career?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
