Architectural design


What is worth mentioning is its Architectural Design As a public university specializing in business and engineering, the architectural design of the University of Michigan is set up in the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture&Urban Planning, which pays more attention to the creativity and potential of students, so there will be a project of proposition works collection when enrolling.


Art History


In addition to construction, the art history major of the University of Michigan is outstanding. The undergraduate major of the art history course of the University of Michigan requires you to have some painting experience, not to paint well. The four-year undergraduate course in art history only requires a few fineart courses (the optional range includes painting, sculpture, materials, printing, photography, design, etc.). It's like that the course of Natural Science needs a lab, an art history major, and you need to understand how artists work in studio.

Application Experience

University of Michigan Application Guide:


1. Highlight the activity background: although the student's participation in each activity is not deep, compared with many students who are extremely deficient in extracurricular activities, the student's activity background is still a highlight worthy of excavation and improvement. Through repeated communication with students and combined with my own experience, I have properly improved the length of time and depth of participation of students in each activity to highlight their persistence and achievements in this activity field. Taking the student's internship experience in Shanghai Hongkou Architectural Design Company as an example, the student actually only went there for a few days, and his work was limited to visiting the construction site and the works of other architectural designers. When writing the activity description, I confirmed through communication with students that, on the one hand, according to the schedule of students' summer vacation, students' internship time has been appropriately extended; on the other hand, the content of internship experience has focused on students' gains, such as students who have mastered basic architectural painting skills AutoCAD and SketchUp, We visited many famous buildings in Shanghai and visited construction sites on the spot. This makes the students' gains during the internship more concrete and vivid.


2. Tailored documents: consultants who have applied to Ann Arbor, Michigan know that although the title of the two documents is not difficult to understand, it is difficult to write new ideas, so they need to tailor appropriate documents.
