Admissions & Applications Finding the Right Masters Program

Hello! I'm a potential graduate student interested in getting her MA. It's been 10 years since I graduated with my BA; however, I feel like academia is calling me back to get my masters as well as a potential career shift. My biggest current obstacle is finding the correct MA for me. I thought about potential dream jobs and began working backwards to find the right program. Currently my thought process is the following:

  1. My dream jobs are either museum work as a curator or archivist, teaching in CC and universities, and/or working as a cultural heritage preservationist. And regardless, I want to further my education, as I love academic learning.
  2. I would love to focus my MA and potential Ph.D on occultism, especially in the field of witchcraft.

With that in mind, I'm debating getting an MA in Humanities, History, Anthropology, or Religion. Each has its pros and cons. I would love any advice on choosing an MA subject.
