Introduction to studying abroad in American art major

At present, more and more people choose to study in the United States. What we know best may be some majors that we often hear, such as business, but in fact, the United States is a diversified country, and the art schools here are better. Many schools are world-famous and many art students yearn for them.

Then, next, Bian Xiao will help you know something about art students who go to the United States!

The environment for art students to study in the United States

America is a country with a comprehensive cultural collection. They allow many different forms of cultural and artistic integration, thus providing sufficient support for more types.

As the world's largest art market and the largest art exporter, the United States controls most of the global art market and leads the development trend of world art.

In addition, although nearly 100 colleges and universities in China have set up applied art majors (such as architecture, graphic design and three-dimensional design), most of them were set up in 15 ~ 20 years, and there is still a certain gap in research level and academic status compared with famous American art colleges.

In addition, except for academic majors such as art history and art education in a few schools, undergraduate and master's degrees in applied arts in the United States generally belong to vocational degrees, which ultimately meet the qualifications of registered designers, architects and animators, and have great competitive advantages for employment in the United States and development in China.

Another example is urban design and planning, landscape design and other popular majors. According to Li Liuxue 360, these majors are still in the initial stage in China, but they have relatively mature research and practice in the United States, so the return of studying in the United States is considerable.

Cost of studying in the United States

The tuition fees for studying in the United States vary greatly according to the type, level and geographical location of universities.

Generally speaking, the tuition fees of private universities are above $25,000/year, and those of famous private universities such as Harvard, Williams and Yale are as high as $40,000/year.

Tuition in public universities is generally between 1 and $50,000-20,000/year. In addition to tuition, students also need to bear about $654.38 +0 million yuan.

Annual living expenses. However, strong American universities generally provide scholarships for international students.

These figures are only the most common expenses for studying abroad. If it is a major that needs a lot of materials to create works, such as jewelry design and fashion design, the tuition fee is higher, about 50W RMB.

Introduction to studying abroad for American art majors;

(1) Portfolio

This is the most important part of applying for studying in the United States. To apply for an art major, you must have corresponding works of art in this major. For example, if you want to apply for photography, you must have photography works, or if you want to apply for sculpture, you must have sculpture works. It is best to have corresponding text descriptions in the collection to explain your own works.

(2) Personal statement and three letters of recommendation.

Personal statement is similar to applying for other majors. Letters of recommendation should be written by professors or professionals who have taught you, usually three or four.

(3) university transcripts and bachelor's degrees.

Applicants should provide undergraduate transcripts and bachelor's degrees. The GPA cannot be lower than 2.7. In addition, you should have a four-year undergraduate degree. According to Li Liuxue 360, transcripts and academic credentials are only valid after notarization, so try to prepare these documents as early as possible to ensure that there is enough time to submit materials.

(4) standardized examination.

Generally speaking, applying for art majors in American universities only needs to provide TOEFL scores, and the score requirements are very different from those of graduate schools applying for American universities. Generally, it is acceptable to score above 80 points, and the average school can even get about 60 points. Gre scores are generally not needed, depending on the requirements of specific schools, but it is certainly better to have GRE scores.

Knowing this, Bian Xiao believes that it will be much more convenient for many art students who want to study in the United States to apply for studying abroad. Finally, I hope everyone will study abroad smoothly!
