university of delaware has a very strong program. also, as a rule of thumb, any decent school in or around new york city will have a strong art history department for the simple reason that art historians have a professional (and probably personal!) interest in being near all that art, and since not everyone can teach at nyu or columbia, you’ll find many fine scholars sacrificing some prestige to teach at a college in the new york area. cuny, for example, as an outstanding department.

and btw, i might add, for the benefit of the snooty poster, that yale is not in fact one of the three finest schools for art history, and certainly not for moden art, as no one in the “community” would consider david joselit (yale) more distinguished than hal foster (princeton), benjamin buchloh (harvard), or tj clark (uc-berkeley).

do your research.
