Hi Kristine, Have you considered MLS programs? A lot of folks in the MCN community have library science degrees (myself included) and work in museum technology. The skill set is easily transferable from one field to the other. I'm sure someone on this list could tell you which program(s) might be worth looking into...?

I've considered a Masters in Museum Studies but the curriculum seems too broad. I'm a Registrar and I'm particularly interested in digital image standards, rotational photography, online databases, virtualization, etc.. We have IT staff at my current institution but I'd like to try to keep up. I know enough to be dangerous, but that's about it! Is anyone aware of a program that merges technology and the arts or humanities? Or is there a straight technology degree or certificate that you would recommend instead? An online degree or one offered in Wisconsin would be particularly helpful. Thank you for your input.
