MA in Historic Preservation?

I got my BA in Historic Preservation about a year and a half ago. Recently I've been doing a lot of research on going back to school for and MBA, as I felt it was a bit more practical, but now I'm thinking I would be more happy/successful if I continued my education in something I KNOW I'll enjoy.

Does anyone have advice/experience attending a school, online or not, for a masters in Historic Preservation?

 

Goucher College Goucher College: Transcending Boundaries

Savannah College of Art and Design SCAD > The University for Creative Careers

More specific info on these programs can be found in the sticky thread "MA in History Question."

 

Oklahoma has an online masters in museum studies
Master of Arts - Museum Studies Option - College of Liberal Studies - The University of Oklahoma

Another option is Leicester in the UK
Museum Studies by Distance Learning — University of Leicester

I understand both are well regarded - check with curators at your local museums.

 

Great, thanks for the help.

Have either of you, or anyone else, studied or worked in historic preservation? I understand it can be a difficult field to get into and would appreciate any advice on what to study that may give me an advantage/career paths in the field/any advice at all that may help.
I'm a little nervous about spending more money on an education that may not even help me get work.

 

I volunteered at a WWII aircraft museum that kept its aircraft preserved and in flying condition.

I visit lots of places where historic preservation is taking place including national and state parks, railroad museums, and natural history museums where much work is done by volunteers. I suggest you volunteer at such a place and make contacts.

Your BA should qualify you for an entry level position. I suggest you pursue a masters only after you have at least a years work experience.
