秋天将至，全国各地的学生正为开启大学生活做准备，但许多学生将目光投向了更远的地方，他们将赴美学习艺术课程。越来越多的中国学生正利用出国留学的机会主修电影、舞蹈、绘画、设计等艺术类专业。
教育趋势研究公司世界教育服务2016年的一项调查发现，美国的美术和应用艺术课程招收的中国学生数量增加了两倍多，增速远超工程、商业管理、数学和计算机科学等主导学科。
进入国内优秀艺术和设计课程的竞争激烈程度助长了这一趋势。北京电影学院是我国顶尖的艺术学府之一，2015年报考该校的学生数量接近2.5万，其中仅498人被录取，录取率不足2%。国内院校录取率低，加上国内就业市场艺术领域的工作机会增加，使在国外主修艺术成为了中国学生的可靠选择。
Studying art abroad a trend

With autumn just around the corner, students are gearing up to start university across the country, but many will be looking further afield, heading for the US for fine arts courses. A rising number of Chinese students are using the opportunity of studying overseas to major in various fine arts, ranging from film and dance to painting and design.
A 2016 study by educational trends research company World Education Services found that the number of Chinese students enrolled in fine and applied arts programs in the US has more than tripled. That's growing much faster compared to leading subjects, such as engineering, business and management, math and computer science.
The intense competition for spots in leading art and design programs in China fuels the trend. The Beijing Film Academy, one of the country's top universities for fine arts, received nearly 25,000 applications in 2015. Of those, 498 were accepted. That's less than 2%. Low acceptance rates at universities around the country, coupled with a job market in China that is seeing more professional opportunities in the arts sector, makes majoring in fine arts abroad a solid choice for Chinese students.
