藝術(shù)專業(yè)學(xué)位介紹

在美國和加拿大，美學(xué)學(xué)士，通?？s寫為BFA(Bachelor of Fine Arts)，是授予給在視覺或表演藝術(shù)專業(yè)教育本科學(xué)位的學(xué)生。有些國家也命名為創(chuàng)意藝術(shù)學(xué)士或BCA(Bachelor of Creative Arts)。MFA的全稱是Master of Fine Arts,翻譯成中文應(yīng)該是創(chuàng)作碩士，而非字面上的純藝術(shù)碩士，其所提供的主修相當(dāng) 多種，從雕刻、編制、繪畫、設(shè)計(jì)、插畫、室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)、平面設(shè)計(jì)、動畫、攝影、電影，到新近的珠寶設(shè)計(jì)，或是多媒體設(shè)計(jì)都是拿BFA或MFA學(xué)位。

MFA的特色在于是創(chuàng)作領(lǐng)域中最高的學(xué)位，并沒有博士學(xué)位，在美國設(shè)計(jì)界工作，MFA就是最高學(xué)位了，因此，能夠拿到MFA是相當(dāng)高的榮譽(yù)，不僅能找到好工作，同時(shí)也具有大學(xué)教書的資格。

要申請MFA的入學(xué)條件與其他主修不同的是，一定要附上作品集Portfolio，這是學(xué)校評審你是否可入學(xué)的最大關(guān)鍵，其次才是在校成績GPA和托福成績，另外特別的是一定會要求財(cái)力證明及學(xué)費(fèi)保證金。MFA修業(yè)兩年中有三分之一的課程要求創(chuàng)作，也就是交作品，剩下三分之一的課程必須學(xué)習(xí)藝術(shù)理論或是史學(xué)的部分，并且一定要修滿60學(xué)分才可以畢業(yè)，不過各個(gè)學(xué)校的要求有所不同。

在美國三千多所大學(xué)中，提供MFA學(xué)位的學(xué)校不算很多，大部分由專門的私人藝術(shù)學(xué)院提供。念MFA至少要兩年，如果想要一年就修完藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的碩士課程，應(yīng)該要修MA(Master of Arts)，如果想再修博士學(xué)位，通常是修藝術(shù)史或是藝術(shù)理論課程才有博士學(xué)位。在兩年中所需要的費(fèi)用視學(xué)校所在城市而定，由于這類學(xué)校多為私人機(jī)構(gòu)，故學(xué)費(fèi)高昂，兩年中估計(jì)生活費(fèi)等總計(jì)30萬-40萬的開支，學(xué)生可以在校內(nèi)打工來補(bǔ)貼生活費(fèi)用。。【2014年最強(qiáng)藝術(shù)專業(yè)錄??！】

一般來說，要修MFA學(xué)位必須具有BFA的資格，且托福成績要達(dá)到80分以上，此外，不必考GRE或是GMAT,除非學(xué)校有特殊要求。

美國熱門藝術(shù)專業(yè)：

比較熱門的像時(shí)尚設(shè)計(jì)、室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)、媒體藝術(shù)、電影藝術(shù)、 攝影技術(shù)、美術(shù)設(shè)計(jì)、數(shù)碼藝術(shù)設(shè)計(jì)、藝術(shù)管理等等。

美國藝術(shù)專業(yè)申請的三個(gè)“早”：

盡“早”找相關(guān)機(jī)構(gòu)準(zhǔn)備申請很重要，尤其是英文基礎(chǔ)薄弱的學(xué)生.

盡早找機(jī)構(gòu)有什么好處呢？比如留學(xué)美國網(wǎng)會提前協(xié)助學(xué)生選校并整理好中文的作品準(zhǔn)備條件，同時(shí)指導(dǎo)學(xué)生進(jìn)行作品準(zhǔn)備。協(xié)助學(xué)生準(zhǔn)備推薦信、自我介紹信等等英文材料。

作品準(zhǔn)備要趁“早”

作品是申請藝術(shù)院校的核心，很多特別著名的藝術(shù)學(xué)院提供語言培訓(xùn)，但是前提是你得作品得足夠好。那么盡早準(zhǔn)備，多花一些心思，找老師或相關(guān)專業(yè)人士把把關(guān)都是需要時(shí)間。

提交申請要趁”早”：

美國藝術(shù)學(xué)院大部分專業(yè)都是要在線提交作品的，而且是提交到國外的網(wǎng)站，所以網(wǎng)速有時(shí)會很不給力，同學(xué)們一定得打出充裕的時(shí)間遞交網(wǎng)絡(luò)申請哦！
