While I'm biased, I think Public History is the way to go just because of the additional hands on experience you can get in archives and museums. My program allows you to choose one of four paths as far as coursework goes. Museums, archives, historic preservation, and research. I'm only in my first week of the program, so I haven't quite figured out my path yet. I will say that anyone interested in Public History should check out my program. It's a small group, but located in a metropolitan area with TONS of museums (including a Presidential Library) and historic societies. PM for more details.
