  1. Hey everyone! I haven't seen any recent threads on here for museum studies programs, so I thought it would be good to get a conversation going so we can exchange feedback on each other's program selections and career goals. I'm still in the process of narrowing down a list of programs to apply to (I'm aiming for 5 or 6 total), but here are the schools I'm considering as of now: United States: John F. Kennedy University - MA/MBA in Museum Studies Syracuse University - MA in Museum Studies University of the Arts, Philadelphia - MA in Museum Communication University of Oregon - MA in Arts Management (they also have a certificate in Museum Studies, so I may pick that up too depending on what kind of funding I can get) University of San Francisco - MA in Museum Studies International: Birkbeck, University of London - MA in Museum Cultures Courtauld Institute of Art - MA in Curating the Art Museum Marist College in Florence - MA in Museum Studies Newcastle University - MA in Art Gallery and Museum Studies University of East Anglia - MA in Museum Studies University of Glasgow - MsC in Museum Studies University of Leeds - MA in Art Gallery and Museum Studies University of Leicester - MA in Museum Studies University of Manchester - MA in Art Gallery and Museum Studies Just for reference, I graduated a couple of years ago with a B.A. in art history and a business minor. Since graduating, I've had a few different internships in the field (two museum and one gallery), including at a world-renowned museum where I've worked on exhibition research and publications for the past couple of years. (I also held a variety of jobs on campus while I was a student, and was involved in co-curating an art historical exhibition as part of a capstone seminar.) I know that I want to continue working in museums, but I'm not 100% sure of what type of job I want to pursue - for this reason, I am interested in programs that: a.) are fairly broad-based so that I can gain a better overview of the field, and b.) have good balance between theoretical and practical coursework (e.g. work placements or internships). If anyone has any inside knowledge of what any of these programs are like (e.g. if you know someone who's studied there), please let me know. Since museum studies is such a niche field, it can be a bit tricky to assess a program's quality based on the overall reputation of the school. Looking forward to getting a discussion started!
