Urgent! ! ! Can non-art undergraduates take the cross-examination for art postgraduates?

At present, there are many non-art majors who want to apply for art study abroad, but they are playing drums in their hearts. Is it reliable? First, cross-professional schools do not accept it, and second, it is difficult to apply for cross-majors. Is it feasible for students who are not majoring in design to switch to design and apply for studying art across majors?

Philip Burkart, an international art education teacher at Bank of America, clearly told everyone that art colleges in the United States welcome interdisciplinary students to apply, probably because art has long been popular in American countries, and they think that the charm of art is endless, so all friends who love art and pursue art are welcome to study.

1. Most American universities accept interdisciplinary applications.

American colleges and universities have a strong professional tolerance, which also provides a strong prerequisite for everyone to study in cross-professional art. Let me give you a general summary of which majors can be safely selected and which majors need to be cautious.

Relieved majors: clothing, jewelry, plane, illustration, animation, photography, pure art, industry, etc.

Cautious majors: architecture, landscape, interior, interaction, etc.

Give two examples:

Rest assured clothing, jewelry, airplanes, etc. I won't discuss it professionally. Their safety factor is higher than 99.99%, which is also known as transferable major. However, people may have doubts about industrial design, and worry that they can't choose across majors without relevant professional knowledge. Actually, it's not. ACCD (art center college of design) is the best industrial design college in the United States, and most of its graduate students majoring in industrial design are students with relevant background and experience. However, ACCD advocates the collision between cultures and attaches great importance to the voices from different majors, so it also relaxes the requirements for background and accepts applications from non-design majors. Other top institutions such as RISD, SVA and CAA are very tolerant, but they will pay special attention to it and decide the result of your application according to the documents you submit.

Interactive majors like Carnegie Mellon have three degrees: MDes (Master of Design), MPS (Master of Professional Studies) and MA (Master of Design Arts). Among them, MDes and MPS need undergraduate design related majors and have relevant professional experience, while MA has no relevant requirements and can apply for cross-majors.

2. What are the different requirements for applying for studying abroad in art majors?

The requirements for studying abroad in interdisciplinary art are the same, whether it is language scores, letters of recommendation, academic qualifications, grades or portfolios. Little friends only need to carefully prepare each item, especially the portfolio.

This involves a very important issue: technical basis. Many interdisciplinary students are very motivated at the beginning of their application, but later they may be rejected because they are not professional enough and their works often fail to meet the requirements of American art colleges. It is not worth the loss to waste a lot of time. It is suggested that zero-based partners entrust professional art study abroad institutions to help you lay a solid foundation of techniques, develop your artistic cells and guide you to make more professional works.

And it is best to start preparation from 1.5-2 years. If you find a suitable art study abroad institution and have one or more professional teachers to build, guide and cooperate for you from 0, you will get twice the result with half the effort after preparing your portfolio.

Postscript: American Airlines Philip Burkart International Art Education Teacher reminds all eager friends that studying abroad across majors is equivalent to taking that step. Yes, I've been thinking that maybe the old job should be completely put down. Every stage of life is faced with many choices, first think clearly, then make a decision, then try your best to do it, do it well, give up and get it.
