I am still looking into all that. I know that Dominican/Loyola offers funding for MLIS/MA Public History students, but I'm not 100% sure about the others yet. I'll keep you in mind as I'm working on my applications. I appreciate it

MA programs for sure. I don't think a PhD program would be good fit for me.

Hello everyone, I've never posted in this forum before, but I have been lurking here and there. I'm applying to Loyola, Dominican, University of Maryland, St. John's University, and NYU specifically for their dual degree option to complete a Master's in Library Science and a Master's in Public History (or History in UMD's case). My research area is American material culture, photography, and art from the end of WWII to the present and how they can impact popular memory. I have previously worked on a project on photography and the civil rights movement, but I am hoping to branch out into other movements, events, and important figures from this time period. My goal is to marry art history and history in the work I do, and then get public audiences to engage with history through the analysis of objects. That's the idea at least, I'm still trying to figure out definitive parameters for future research. How specific should I be? My materials are slowly coming together, and I am currently getting my butt kicked by my statement of purpose. Does anyone have any tips?
