I will wait to see who answers.  Fifty years ago UT, UNC, and Columbia had
top notch programs in Historical Romance Linguistics; today that field is on
life-support: generative grammar and the concept that the current spoken
language is the only language worth studying have become a cancer on the
field of linguistics.  Perhaps some Historical Germanic Linguistics survive
in the US.  You may have better luck in Europe depending upon the languages
in which you are fluent.  I know the joke: Asking linguists how many
languages they speak is comparable to asking economists how much money they
make; however, a command of French, German, and Spanish will take you
further than English and French alone.

Not to disrupt the stream of conference calls, but I'm an undergrad in
Linguistics at McGill University, 2nd year, looking for a Uni with a good
Historical Linguistics or PIE-centred undergrad program to which I can
transfer for a semester abroad. The partner institutions offered at McGill
are a bit sparse on either the historical side or the Linguistics side
completely, and I thought that this would be the prime place to ask for
suggestions or advice.
Thanks;
