beyphy:

The best department in linguistics is MIT, namely because of its association with Chomsky. I should note that at MIT the linguistics and philosophy department have merged into a single department. After MIT, i’d say it’s difficult to say what the top programs are.

Here are some of the universities where professors at top departments completed their dissertations (I’ll only be including universities that have alumni represented at one or more of these universities:)

at MIT (most faculty don’t list their CV so these are the few i could find):

MIT Department of Linguistics: People: Faculty: Noam Chomsky (MIT)

All 3 of Chomsky’s degrees (BA, MA, PhD) are from Penn, which still has one of the top linguistics departments (as you pointed out :)).
