Since the subject of museum studies programs has come up, I wonder if list
members would be willing to offer opinions about what they feel are the
particular strengths of various programs, and/or the qualities which
distinguish one from another. I, for instance, would be interested in
knowing which programs are especially strong (or not) at training future
Collections Managers. It seems to me--though it can be difficult to
tell from public advertisements--that some programs are focusing
primarily on theoretical matters, while others stress the practical.
What are your thoughts?
