TeriAnn:

Obviously, there aren’t really any schools that would consider this art history as a specialty or standout department.



Not so obviously Art history at Williams is both a specialty and a standout department. So many Williams graduates are directors and curators of major museums that they are known as the Williams Mafia.

Some other liberal arts colleges that I would recommend for art history are:
Wesleyan, Skidmore, Conn College, Vassar, Kenyon and assuming you are female, Smith and Bryn Mawr.

Among the ivy league and other super selectives I would concentrate on Yale and Brown, although a case could certainly be made for several others.

Actually, most big universities have fairly good art history departments. University of Michigan comes to mind but there are certainly others as well.

Terri, tell us more about your ECs, or lack thereof. What is it about art history that appeals to you? You may be able to parlay an interest in art into a viable EC.
