Re: Graduate programs



I attended Eastern Illinois University which offers a master's in Historical Administration, a cross-discipline study of museums, libraries, archives, and historical sites. For example, a semester of classes might include: Historic Preservation, American History survey, Exhibit research and Design, Decorative Arts, Archives.
On top of that, I had an assistanthsip at an Illinois Regional Archives Depository, a state run archives depository that has locations at seven universities throughout the state, EIU included. This gave me the practical experience I needed to break into the field.
The program is oriented more towards museums and historical sites, but of a graduating class of eleven two of us are now archivists!
