That&#039;s according to the ANS.&nbsp; The ANS is quite snooty, in my estimation.&nbsp; Then again, they somehow allowed Dr. Sheldon to steal their Large Cent collection...</p><p><br /></p><p>From their course listing:&nbsp; &quot;<i>Successful applicants are typically doctoral candidates or junior faculty in a related discipline, but masters candidates are admitted as well.</i>&quot;</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/2018seminar/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/2018seminar/" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/2018seminar/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
