<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 Americas 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, Id 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 Im 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>
