美國哪些大學的藝術史專業(本科)比較好?


作為一名資深出國黨
美國的vassar college的藝術史專業絕對沒的說。
vassar 瓦薩,今年us news 文理學院排名11。美國文理學院在中國的認識度還比較低,但這不妨礙文理學院的優勢。文理學院比較專業的定義就是:沒有研究生的大學。它們更加專註於本科教育。最主要的就是人少啊!老師多啊!班小啊!互相全認識啊!教授上趕著找你啊!教學質量杠杠的!

下面說vassar瓦薩的藝術史
我大瓦村可以說藝術史專業全美數一數二,也是學校里的熱門專業,並自備美術館。教授們都超nice+流弊,且都是愛這個學科愛學生的。很多vassar的學生都說,不管你major不major in 藝術史,藝術史的課是無論如何都要上的。最著名的art history 105/106,大概是一個講通史的課。屬於lecture大課,人很多。但是每周都會有討論小課,一個教授帶10幾個學生。據說有學姐聽著聽著課能激動滴落淚。

下面說vassar
vassar本身是一個非常非常文藝的學校,強勢專業是藝術史、戲劇、英語和各種社科。秉承liberal arts的傳統,又是open curriculum(非專業必修課炒雞少)。於是學生可以隨便選擇自己喜歡的課程,double major也非常普遍。我個人認為,要是major in藝術史(或者文科),都要見識廣懂得多,最好再雙修一個相輔相成的學科(這個就因人而異了,輔修什麼econ、education、media、CS)。vassar在這方面簡直是最佳選擇!

我是懷著滿滿的school pride來回答的,如果有偏見還請見諒hhhh

我大vassar沒錯的!嗯!


三個最好的學校大概是Vassar, Williams, 和Yale

排名上的常春藤大學還是佔了很大的比例,只有三所文理學院在裡面。常春藤的教育水準高質量固然好。但是如果更能夠享受到那個學習和討論的氛圍,推薦文理學院。不過很多人在大學都把藝術史當副修科目(minor)畢竟就業率也是要在意的嘛~

其實想說UChi的也還可以啦~有幸上過幾節ART HISTORY部門的課感覺水平真心挺高、各種深度research寫論文寫報告教授領著參觀博物館


Columbia university college of art.
To study the history of art at Columbia University and Barnard College is to join an enterprise that extends far beyond Morningside Heights. Art history is deeply tied to the cultural life of New York City, where more people are engaged in making, writing about, exhibiting, and collecting art than any place else in the world. Whether it is devoted to Roman sculpture, Japanese ceramics, or French painting, classes in art history at Columbia and Barnard bring students into direct contact with works of art in the city"s museums and galleries, while classes in architectural history introduce students to the staggering diversity of its buildings and public monuments.
but 一般本科不看專業排名,美國開設art history的綜合性大學有80所左右,選校還是要看自己的成績和作品集,其次還有很多藝術類的college 可以考慮。


在國外讀藝術史的人一部分是不是家庭條件不錯?就是屬於有閑階層,不需要工作養活自己的?
