With the emergence of various emerging industries, interdisciplinary specialty has become an advantage and trend. Not only are traditional interdisciplinary disciplines, such as management, education, economics, etc., but many science and engineering disciplines that seem to have distinct boundaries are also increasingly integrated. For example, physical chemistry has become the dominant specialty of MIT and other famous universities.


Looking at the current art design environment, more and more professional disciplines are based on "interdisciplinary", such as new media art, AR, VR, interaction design, installation art, sound art, and even many traditional art design majors are also changing, such as new materials used in public art, clothing design, sculpture and other professions, Are combined with the ideas of other disciplines.


The concept of "interdisciplinary" is not only becoming more and more broad in the boundaries of disciplines, but also major art colleges have begun to integrate interdisciplinary teaching, spread their vision to various fields, integrate the concept of "humanities+thinking+technology+practice", and cultivate students' comprehensive artistic literacy.


The fundamental advantage of interdisciplinary is to use the knowledge of different disciplines to solve the specific problems of a certain discipline. In the process, it is often possible to draw different views or new inspiration from the traditional single discipline method. There are commonalities among all disciplines, and these commonalities are the entry points of our innovation.


Regardless of the advantage of interdisciplinary in students' thinking, just talking about the role of interdisciplinary in the concentration of works, it must be clear that interdisciplinary in the concentration of works is to help students improve their application advantages, and to show more dimensions of students' various abilities to admissions staff.


For many students who have changed their major and have no basic knowledge, "interdisciplinary" is the best way to make up for their shortcomings and express their personal uniqueness. In the process of teaching interdisciplinary counseling portfolio, we often emphasize that the creation of portfolio is dominated by students' ability, and different professional backgrounds should not be taken as a disadvantage that everyone wants to avoid, but the direction that we open up the creation form.

In fact, in many foreign art colleges and universities, sometimes a large major includes many small majors, it doesn't matter whether you change your major or not, and even if you apply successfully, you will continue to study in a large major. For example, Parsons undergraduate students will still learn a lot of basic professional knowledge when they enter the first year, while graphic design, interaction design, product design Fashion Design/fashion design and photography are the same basic courses. So it's easy for art students to change their majors.

The most important thing for art study abroad to change majors is to see how big your span is. If your span is too big and your previous major has no similarity, you should prepare enough time for yourself to learn the foundation of a new major.

The most troublesome thing is that the zero foundation has changed to a major. Most of these students have never been exposed to art and design majors. Undergraduate students are not majors in art and design fields, let alone systematic study. What needs to be supplemented is not only the specific professional foundation, but also the foundation in the foundation - aesthetic and basic ability.

Many people may worry about whether changing their major will affect their future employment when they consider studying abroad in art. They worry about whether they will lose their professional degree to graduates who are good at a certain major when they enter the corresponding industry after graduation. But in fact, in terms of future employment, cross majors may bring you more possibilities.
