The following announcement is posted by request. --Moderator, NYHIST-L PUBLIC HISTORY SURVEY The History Department at SUNY Fredonia is considering creating a graduate certificate program in Public History that will provide training in historical methods, archival methods, exhibition planning and preparation, historic resource management, and so on. We envision a program that would require 15-18 graduate credit hours (5-6 courses), including course work in Public History and applied skills, historical research methodology, directed readings, and an internship and/or practicum. These courses would be available to both full- and part-time students and all courses included in the program would be applicable to an Interdisciplinary M.A./M.S. at SUNY Fredonia. So that we can best tailor the program to meet the needs of the Western New York community and of our students, we have created a brief survey about your interest and possible enrollment in the program or related courses. We greatly appreciate your willingness to participate in the survey, which will provide us with valuable feedback as we move forward with planning the program. It should only require a few minutes of your time. All responses will remain anonymous and will be used for no other purpose than preparing our program proposal. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=kW5y9yOM8_2feUapbRP49TIA_3d_3d We encourage you to forward this survey link to friends and associates whom you think might be interested in this program. The link can also be accessed at the bottom of the SUNY Fredonia history department homepage (http://www.fredonia.edu/department/history/). Dr. John Staples, Chair, Department of History SUNY Fredonia
