For art students studying abroad, it is not only a collection of art works, but also the most important thing for them to choose an art school. Studying abroad in the United States is a holy land of art that everyone wants to go to, and many times we will choose to study in the United States. Today, Natural Light Art Studies tells you some ways to study in the United States, so that you can easily study in art!

　 1、 American art students should pay attention to the differences between public campuses

When studying in the United States, many students will struggle to choose public or private universities. Industry insiders believe that both public and private universities can choose. It is understood that there are many good schools in American public schools, such as UCLA, University of Michigan Ann Arbor, etc. But the "pit" that students need to avoid is that there are great differences in the ranking and quality of different public university campuses, so we must pay attention to screening.

　 　 2、 Public universities are not necessarily cheap

Some students feel that public universities are cheap, so they choose them. In fact, public universities are especially cheap for American students, but they do not have many preferential policies for international students. It is still necessary to know more about the specific conditions of the school to make judgments.

　 3、 Small class teaching optional art college

When going to the United States for undergraduate studies, which one should choose, ordinary university or art college? Industry insiders believe that if students like lively activities and colorful club activities, it is more suitable to choose a larger university. If students love learning and small class teaching environment, a small art college is a good choice. But many of the world's top art universities are still very good. In addition, the major emphasis of art schools is also different. For example, the New York School of Vision is relatively commercial Rhode Island School of Design It is more research oriented.

"The College of Arts is a university that achieves the best undergraduate education, and pays more attention to the cultivation of one person's knowledge and heritage. Usually, the teaching scale is 12-18 students in a class. Teachers are familiar with each student's situation and take care of each student's development."

　　 4、 Community colleges should consider universities

The tuition of community colleges is relatively cheap and the threshold is low, which is more suitable for students with poor academic foundation, relatively weak English ability, or low budget for studying abroad. Many community colleges will sign transfer agreements with local or nearby public universities.

　　 5、 It is better to select schools according to the ranking before determining the major

If students do not have a clear professional direction and plan to read general education courses, they should first choose American famous schools with high comprehensive rankings. Because the higher the comprehensive ranking of a university, the richer and better the resources that students will have access to in the future. However, it is reminded that for students who have identified their major, they should first refer to the major ranking, understand the scientific research strength and employment situation of different schools in the field of this major, and then choose a school.

　　 6、 Careful selection of universities with low popularity in China

Low popularity in China does not mean that the school is bad. However, last year's "American pheasant university incident" caused ups and downs, so American universities with low domestic popularity and a particularly small number of Chinese students must be cautious in applying. In addition, some schools may be missionary schools or Jewish schools, and almost do not admit Chinese students.

　　 7、 Prepare for the TOEFL SAT in Senior One

Those who are willing to study in American art should prepare for the TOEFL test in the first year of senior high school, and strive for more than 100 points in the TOEFL test in the second year of senior high school; The second year of senior high school begins to prepare for the SAT, and the SAT exam of the second semester of senior high school is more than 1800 points. According to reports, this is because many famous American schools require students to provide TOEFL transcripts of more than 100 points, or even high SAT scores, when recruiting students for summer courses. It is understood that taking summer courses in famous schools can help the future Application for art study abroad Bonus points.

　　 8、 Elements of scholarship application:

Excellent performance is the basic condition for application, and student performance is the basic condition for American colleges to evaluate whether applicants are eligible for scholarships, which is mainly reflected in three aspects, including:

1. Language performance, GPA (average score/GPA) and Rank (ranking);

2. Standardized test scores (SAT, GRE or GMAT);

3. Leadership, art hobbies, sports hobbies, research and publication of papers, experience in experimental projects.

Students should get the ideal language scores as soon as possible during their study in school; GPA scores should be prepared from the first year of senior high school or college. If the GPA is not high enough, you can retake it or retake it according to the arrangement of the university to improve GPA scores; In addition, it is better to attach a Rank list to the transcript to indicate your rank to highlight your achievements.

Not all schools will offer scholarships to international students. If students really want to apply for scholarships, they should carefully analyze the university's scholarship policy for international students, as well as the distribution of scholarships for different majors. The successful admission of students refers to comprehensive factors, so it is necessary to improve their competitiveness from all aspects.

　　 9、 Skills for applying for scholarships for studying in American arts:

Extracurricular practice or work experience can add points to the selection. American art schools attach great importance to the extracurricular practice activities of applicants, such as volunteer work, school clubs, clubs, etc. The admissions officers can explore their personality and characteristics from the extracurricular practice students participate in, and judge whether students meet the requirements of the school. On the other hand, if students have work experience, they can add weight to the application for scholarships. Some applicants from American colleges and universities apply for further education and training again after work. If they have work experience, the school admissions officer can have sufficient reason to believe their clear learning motivation, which is likely to become a highlight in the application materials. In addition, if the applicant applies for a fellowship and a teaching assistant, it is necessary to have work experience as a teaching assistant and a research assistant.
