Hello all, I am new to the forum and I was wondering if I could get some advice on school choices as the April 15th decision deadline approaches. I got into both the University of Iowa and George Washington University's programs with basically full rides to both. The University of Iowa offered me 4 years of funding, plus TA stipend and health (that is 2 years for an MA, and then 2 more years if I am accepted to the PhD program). George Washington University offered me the same amount of aid for two years, a TA position and tuition remission, etc... I am interested in going into museum work or teaching. My interests are 18th and 19th century european art and architecture. I have a specific interest in art from the WWII era. I thought GWU would be a great school to be at for entering into the Museum field, but I am wondering how it compares to the University of Iowa's Art History program in quality and whether I am better off just going for the PhD right away at the U of I. Also, it seems most of the faculty at GWU are Americanists and the professors at Iowa seem to be more diverse, well-known, etc... Opinions? Suggestions? I need to give the schools my decision really soon! Thank you!
