> Why aren't more people utilizing the undergraduate programs that exist?

Rosie,

  Speaking, of course, only for myself, I feel that undergrad programs in museum studies are a case of too much overspecialization too early. Maybe a certificate in museum studies would be appropriate at that stage, but I think a bachelor's should be in a wider field (i.e. in undergrad, you get a degree in history; in grad school, you pick a period in history), such as art history, history, or--in my case--journalism.

  Again, just throwing this out as only my opinion. I'm barely out the door with my own master's degree and am not in a hiring position at any museum. :)
