USC vs Emory vs Northwestern for Art Major

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm thinking of majoring in art or art history with a minor in pre-med. However, I would rather go to an "all rounder" university than to an art institute. I am considering USC, Emory, and Northwestern, but I don't know which one has the better art program.</p>

<p>I don't even know if any of the above schools have good art programs at all, so if anyone knows of other top universities that have good art and pre-med programs, please post!</p>

<p>Emory, while it does have a very solid art history and “pre-med” program, recently cut quite a bit of money from its art department. I wouldn’t recommend the school for any potential art majors.</p>

<p>Northwestern is great in art history. Not sure about its art.</p>

4

<p>Northwestern has a gem of a very well known and very highly respected Art History Dept. Small with deep resources - on campus at places like the Block Museum, in Chicago at places like the Art Institute. Essentially LAC-like teaching supported by large university depth. Can’t say enough good things about it.</p>

<p>Studio Art is another story. Little I can offer in this regard.</p>

5

<p>Northwestern is very academically broad. Engineering, chemistry, premed, journalism, art, communications, ect. Good at most everything and art/art history is no exception.</p>

<p>@whenhen damn, Emory was my first choice lol</p>

<p>I am leaning more towards fine arts (painting, drawing), so would USC be the best option? What are some other good universities?</p>

<p>I heard CMU has a very good fine arts program.</p>

8

<p>Northwestern. Very strong for premed and basically every major. It the most well known university of the 3.</p>

<p>Help me with my decision.

<p>@Sam Lee yes, I heard CMU has an excellent fine arts program as well, but I am not sure I want to go there as much. I am definitely considering it, but compared to Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago, i find Pittsburgh to be more boring.</p>
