Art History- U Chicago vs. U Texas Austin

[kelseysavannahh]

I'm trying to decide between University of Texas at Austin and University of Chicago for art history masters/phd. Does anybody have experience with either of these programs? Which is better?

I've heard great things about the University of Chicago- the art history program there is innovative, energetic, and has staffed about half of the art history faculty here at McGill. I haven't hear anything about the Texas program or its graduates, however, so that might be telling.

Chicago doesn't have a Masters in Art History. Do you mean their MAPH program or do you mean the Chicago PhD vs. UT Austin's PhD? Or are we comparing MAPH vs a UT Austin direct to PhD?
