We describe methods one can employ at a {radical}s = 500 GeV e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} linear collider to measure the branching fractions of a Higgs boson. These methods select one Higgs decay mode above all others with high purity, leaving measureable Standard Model backgrounds as the only source of contamination. Integrated luminosities of 50fb{sup {minus}1} are required to obtain statistical errors of 10--20% on the branching fractions to b{bar b}, {tau}{sup +}{tau}{sup {minus}}, and WW(*). For an intermediate mass Higgs this is sufficient to distinguish the MSSM from the Standard Model Higgs over most of the Supersymmetric parameter space.
