[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No reason going to a top liberal arts college and paying $90k/year to study art history; you'd frankly have more resources and access to professors at a state school.[/quote]

Ever heard of the Williams art mafia? If you want to study art history you'd be very well positioned and resourced at Williams. It's the only graduate program offered there. And which state school offers more access to profs than the Williams tutorials?[/quote]
You have more much access to art history courses, archives, and internship opportunities at any decent state school. You aren’t special getting 1 on 1 with an [b]unknown professor at Williams[/b] over a known researcher in the field who likely curates and consults at a state university.[/quote]

Uh, no. Williams professors are hardly unknown, far from it. Williams art history grads can write their ticket for grad school.[/quote]
I work in the field. They have 1 or 2 all stars (Laylah ali) but I’m not seeing anyone or any resource that’s particularly outstanding compared to any top state school- where there will be a lot more star faculty just due to a sheer fact of size.[/quote]
Williams is a great launch point if you didn’t get into a top phd and want to get some curatorial experience and research before applying for another season of applications. It is not in any way a replacement for a PhD program, which most alum need to go into in order to get jobs.[/quote]
