申请
南加大附近的治安据说较不好喔...若请校方邮寄全校目录要US$16.5元，但网路已可提供pdf档下载，此外由于该校每年申请者非常多，会提供申请者专属编号与标签供你使用
要申请MFA学位的必须先向校方教务处索取申请表，以获得重要的编号和条码，然后准备三封推荐信，以及二十张幻灯片(直接寄到系上)，还有学校英文成绩单.
以下是译自艺术学院网页中院长先生Ruth Weisberg的介绍
[在世界如戏剧般变化时，有一个优良的指标是很重要的!南加大艺术学院结合了两个角色： 一是开创二十一世纪新的设计与艺术视野的角色，另一个是最老的艺术学院之一，我们希望有天份的学生能在这里建立他们最充分的潜力，并使用最先进的技术创作~]
[我们也自豪于能透过亲自实习，了解职业规则来建立了最佳的就业管道，~我们的毕业生远播艺术界各领域，在各地的展览，博物馆，或是艺廊都有我们毕业生的踪迹~]
[我们也积极建立学生和老师在新科技上的联系，特别是我们院里的动画领域，光碟与网页设计，多媒体等新兴领域，或是其他具有创造性的科技，都在我们课程规划范围内~]
问答
站长备注： 2000年我和南加大台湾同学会副会长Lindbergh的问答集：
1.你对南加大的School of Fine Arts有什么了解? Not much. But I know that the animation program here is so famous. Plus， Hollywood is not far from USC， there must be a lot of interaction between Hollywood and USC. Students major in TV， Cinema and Animation have to study 3 years to obtain their MFA degrees.
2.据说南加大的动画研究所是全美少数的动画研究所之一.能不能提一下你在这方面的看法? There are ， actually， a lot of animation school (MA/MFA) besides USC. For example， SVA， Ohio State Univ. (ACCAD)， University of Illinois at Chicago (electronic visualization)， Texas A&M， Pratt， Art Center College of Design， California Institute of the Art， Minneapolis College of Art and Design， School of the Art Institute at Chicago， School of the Museum of Fine Art..... USC is one of these schools that provides animation programs， but the other are also outstanding!
3. 南加大的校园如何?The USC campus is "not bad"， at least to me. Yet it is not as big as UCLA because USC is closed to the downtown LA.
4.南加大的天气如何呢?The climate of Los Angeles is very good since LA was once a desert! But there is less moisture here than in Taiwan. You don't need to worry the weather here. It's not as cold as New York， Boston or Chicago in winter. Frankly speaking， LA is warm in the whole year.
5. 南加大的学费和生活费如何呢? Lots of people say that the tuition fee of USC is extremely expensive. It's true in some facts. So far， the fee is about US$800/credit. However， I just need to take 27 credits and then can earn the MS degree. Some other schools have cheaper tuition fee for each credit， yet students in those schools have to take more and more than 27 credits to get their degree. Generally speaking， it's much precisely to calculate the total tuition fee you will spend during your whole study rather than the cost per credit. As to the living fee， it's expensive for the housing if you live near the campus. Yet if you have a car， you can live further the campus and the rent for housing will be much cheaper. Food， clothing and other parts for living are not so expensive in LA.
6. 南加大的学费最近会调涨吗?有没有听说什么关于学校行政异动的消息?The tuition fee always rises each year (fall). Since I am working now for summer internship， I didn't hear any news regarding the changes of administration.
7. 南加大的校园安全如何?The public security at USC is so so， but not too bad. However， the security is not good around the campus. So， it is not very safe for girls to live around the campus.
8. 住在学校方便吗?The dorminatories of USC are expensive and the qualities are not good. The students I know almost live outside campus.
9. 国际学生多不多?In fact， there are thousands of international students are studying at USC. Right now， there are about 7~8 hundred Taiwanese students over here. Amazing?
10. 台湾同学会的组织运作中，你觉得有哪些是值得鼓励，哪些是需要改进的?CCC holds some activities each semester， and tries to help the new coming students. That's good for Taiwanese students.
11. 你系上的老师好不好?At first， I have to make sure what "好不好" is. If the meaning of "好不好" is the professional knowledge of the faculty， then the answer is definitely correct. Many professors in Computer Science Department at USC are so smart and talent， and they have great reputation in the computer industries. However， if the definition of "好不好" is the interaction among the faculty and students (master)， then I need to say the answer is NO!
12. 你找工作容易吗?To computer science students， it's not hard to find a job since the job market (computer industry) is still growing up quickly. Therefore， if you can write computer programs (C/C++， Java， HTML...)， it is not a problem to obtain a job.
