Merri,

I can tell you honestly that the former Chair of the Department of Art (he
just gave up his post this year) frankly told me not to go to American
University for Art History.  Him and two other people independently referred
me to CUNY at Hunter college which is where I am now.  American University
is having problems with the art department because of lack of space.  as of
now they are building a new studio space but are arguing over how the space
will be shared between the studio program and the art history program.

I think you are better off in a more liberal university where you are
exposed to professionals in the field.  AU does not offer that, it's mostly
academic.


I hope that helps,
Marie DiBartolo
