To clarify, Georgetown's program DOES include museum internships, and there is no longer a thesis (though you have the option to write a serious paper, if you wish). Both the 1st and the 3rd semesters include internships in D.C. I was looking at the program for this fall, but I DO want to go on to a PhD eventually and after speaking with several students decided that it was not as academically inclined as I wished--a wonderful program, but more suited for those who are interested in art business or working in museums not as curators.
