<p>Phorid: I posted a question a few months ago asking about good Art History undergrad programs. This is one of the responses.</p>
<p>"That’s a tough one - I’m currently exploring graduate Archaeology (Classical/Med.) programs so I run into quite a few Art History departments and I haven’t seen any formal undergrad. ratings.</p>
<p>That said, I’ll put in a plug for my undergrad school: Penn. Although I’m in Classics, we share a number of courses with Art History and the faculty, in my experience (Kuttner, Pittman and Rose if you want to loook 'em up), has been uniformly excellent. Their website is here:</p>
<p>[Department</a> of the History of Art : Information for Undergraduates](<a href=“http://www.arthistory.upenn.edu/undergradmajorsmain.htm]Department”>http://www.arthistory.upenn.edu/undergradmajorsmain.htm)</p>
<p>Another thing to think about - while slides are a fact of life for Art History majors, if I were in your place, I would be looking for a school that either has a solid museum collection or has a good working relationship with nearby public museums. (Not surprisingly Penn has both.) Nothing can replace actually being able to handle the material you’re studying." </p>
<p>Sounds like something from someone who actually has some experience with UPENN’s AH department.</p>
