<p>I am very interested in archival management as a career. I realize that it's a very competitive field, but that's why I want to pick a good grad school with plenty of connections to get me going. For anyone who knows about the field, does anyone know if it's easier to get a job with a specific degree, like MA in history vs. Library Sciences vs. archival studies. I have questions about a few specific schools. I definitely want to stay in the Northeast. I live in Westchester, NY, so if I went to school in Manhattan, I'd probably live with my parents and commute or possibly get an apartment in Brooklyn or Queens and commute to Manhattan.</p>
<p>Pratt: Their library science program seems very diverse, with many different emphases. How good are scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, etc?</p>
<p>NYU: Just how competitive is their program for archival studies? Because it's a big name, is it any different from the other two and if so, why and how? Also, how good are scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, etc?</p>
<p>Simmons College: I am in love with idea of getting a dual degree in history and archives, which they offer. Again, how good are scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, etc?</p>
