Art History

<p>Best schools for Art History?</p>

<p>Williams has one of the top art history departments in the country. They have three world class museums on or near campus on which they draw heavily for hands-on experience. </p>

<p>Williams graduates are curators and directors of many of America’s top museums – currently MoMA, Guggenheim, National Gallery, LACounty – plus many others in varying position to the extent that they are referred to as the “Williams Mafia.” This group provides a vibrant network for internships and arts related opportunities. </p>

<p>The studio art department is also very strong which provides a dynamic adjunct. Williams has a small Masters program which offers advanced opportunities for curatorial and conservation studies that the undergrads can draw on.</p>

<p>Other liberal arts colleges that have good art history departments are: Skidmore, Wesleyan, Conn College, Kenyon, Hamilton, Vassar. If you are female Bryn Mawr and Smith are excellent. Among the ivies and super-selectives, I’d suggest Brown, Yale, Princeton, Harvard and Stanford. </p>

<p>Most large universities have decent art history programs. NYU, Berkeley, UMich and JHU come to mind but I’m sure there are others.</p>

<p>One big help is to go to a college close to a top museum or gallery.... </p>

<p>Studying about art in books and then looking at it in person IS SO AMAZING</p>

<p>I think the prince William actually studied that... in Scotland of course.<br>
St Andrew University.</p>
