Hi, I'm looking for some feedback, please: I graduated from a small, respectable liberal arts college with a major in art history and a 3.4 gpa back in 2009. Since then I've been working in a mid-sized, highly regarded museum, in the Collections department. I've worked on some spectacular projects there, but it's clear that I've hit a ceiling in terms of responsibility. I'm now looking into PhD programs with the hopes of becoming a curator or collections manager (most likely). My interests are broad, though I tend towards 20th century art. One thing I'm bumping up against right now is that PhD programs seem incredibly competitive. I'm not interested in being competitive (partly because I have some health issues that make it challenging for me), but I am still craving an intellectual atmosphere. Are there any programs out there that offer comprehensive training in a smart but somewhat relaxed atmosphere? Thank you!
