Their list is extremely outdated, and represents a fairly narrow view of Austrians (most modern Austrians not affiliated with LvMI, which is the majority of them, do quite a bit of quantitative work where it's warranted).
GMU is still the center (it's an Austrian fusion, but there's still a LOT of Austrian stuff -- Bryan Caplan is the exception rather than the rule), but Texas Tech, Troy, SJSU, FSU, and a number of others have heavy representation. I can think of at least 25 universities off the top of my head with at least one open Austrian on faculty. And yes, syllabi aren't just Austrian stuff -- even Austrians want you to learn Economics, not just what Mises said about Economics.
