Art History in the Midwest?

College Majors
1

<p>I currently live in the western suburbs of Chicago and my parents want me to stay within the Midwest for college. I was wondering if anyone knew of some schools with good art history programs in the Midwest. </p>

<p>I've already started looking and this whole art history thing is a pretty recent development. I'm thinking I want to go to a pretty small LAC, so if anyone knows anything about the departments at Carleton, Grinnell, Macalester, Oberlin, Knox, or Kalamazoo, that'd be wonderful, too.</p>

<p>Add Beloit and Lawrence to your list. Both are excellent LACs that offer Art History majors.</p>

<p>I would check out Northwestern and UChicago. The Chicago areas has access to some of the best art galleries and museums (AIC, MCA, etc.) in the Midwest. I would also consider Univ of Michigan if you want to escape Illinois. The Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the best art museums in the country.</p>
