I know it is awfully late in the game, but I was on Georgetown's waiting list for their Art and Museum Studies Program. I was pretty happy with going to Queen's in Kingston, which is a traditional Art History MA program, but now I am feeling conflicted. Georgetown has such a good reputation as a school, but the program itself is about 5 years old. On top of that, I would be paying for it through loans. It is only a one year program, but 65,000 on top of undergrad loans seems like a lot to handle. Queen's has offered to cover tuition and a TAship, but will I be able to find work back in the states with a degree from Canada?
Which is a better option? I liked Queen's because they have specialists in my field, but Georgetown offers practical experiences.
