I'm also planning on going into museum work (after doing that for two years and deciding it was a perfect fit but that I needed further education) and only applied to MAs this time. I do think I would like to pursue a PhD down the line. My fiance is graduating with an MA in public policy this May and DC would be a perfect fit for him--and I really do love the format of the Georgetown...but it being a newer program I am wondering if a standard 2 year program like NYU's holds more weight. What about you? Any word from BU yet? Congrats to you as well and good luck!
I applied to WashU, NYU-IFA, BU, Tufts, GWU, Georgetown and several others--on that list, I've gotten into all except WashU. Oh, well...perhaps BU will have news for us this week!
Weird timing. I applied for the MA and did not get any sort of interview, invitation to come, etc. I just got an email from Sarah Randall Johnson to let me know I was accepted and the official letter is in the mail! Good luck to all.
Well, you can apply to the PhD track sans MA but still have to qualify for it once you reach that point. I met with Ribner yesterday and it's looking hopeful...
