Jen, here are a few ideas: As has been previously mentioned, a degree in art history would be a good idea. If you are interested in publicity, pr, marketing, etc. you could try to get some sort of business degree with a minor in art history or museum science. You could also try a museum studies program. There are several good programs and all should include museum administration and exhibition. I can only say that I agree that there is not necessarily a single right answer when it comes to which educational track to pursue. Regardless of which one you choose, try to get as much good museum experience as possible. That's how you rise to the top of job applicant pools. You might also check the archives of this list. This sort of topic has come up before, so responses to those queries may be helpful. You can also find lists of museum science/studies programs on globalmuseum.org, museum-employment.com, Indigo's web site (I think), etc. You might be able to find one in your area. You could look into enrolling in that program or ask them some of your questions. You could also try meeting with the curator or director from a local art museum to ask their thoughts about how to proceed. Hope some of this is helpful to you.
