[STANFORD] Stanford University 史丹福大學

瀏覽數:

Stanford University 史丹福大學是一所在1891年成立的全美著名私立大學,Quater制,校地共有8180英畝,這個學校不用再多介紹了唄!是上港有名的美國Top大學兼博士製造機

該校和加州柏克萊大學是長年的死對頭(笑~維基百科有略提到)全校最有名的建築物叫做「胡佛塔」,校內有一博物館稱為Cantor Center for Visual Arts museum。史丹福的醫學院可能是該校最有名的,美術系呢!就很少人知道啦! 設計系則在這幾年努力行銷上雜誌,所以變得有名起來了。知名校友部份,賴聲川曾到戲劇系擔任客座教授過。此外另一位知名校友就是作家王文華。電子業巨人張忠謀也是該校校友。

Stanford d.school

設計課程 Institute of Design at Stanford : 網站 http://www.stanford.edu/group/dschool/ 該研究所經常簡稱為「d.school

因為D-School的宣傳有方,造成不少人以為他有學位授予,所以也有很多人感到困惑。基本上D-School因為上課的地方在機構工程系所的大樓,他可說是比較偏向科技與趨勢的。所以其實並沒有學位授予! 比較像是學程,鼓勵各主修的學生都可以來拿課。但是拿課也是要搶的,通常都是商學院的人和工程學院的人在搶課~ 所以造成他炙手可熱的狀況!

D-School學程主要是鼓勵學生選擇自己有興趣的主題,領域則粗分為視覺設計和工業設計兩大類。因為IDEO David Kelly和Tim Brown的影響,本學程著重研究方法和Design Thinking居多。該系所的課程設計是偏向方法的運用與未來趨勢發展,也廣為開放給一般大眾,商業公司或是其他主修的學生。

目前這個學程有分出下列議題,蠻特別的。

PROGRAMS

Stanford MFA

人文藝術研究所School of Humanities & Sciences – Department of Art & Art History 網站http://art.stanford.edu/

  • – MFA Art Practice 2021年開始不收學生,2022年才會開始接受申請
  • – MFA/MS Design (已經沒有這個主修)
  • MFA Documentary Film and Video (特別) 可能是全美唯一有紀錄片主修的MFA喲!不過我很難想像台灣念紀錄片的同學能申請到這一家,因為除了要GRE之外,還至少要TOEFL 650分以上…太硬了太硬了!
  • – PhD Art History,該校的藝術史相當權威,僅有PhD的主修,酷唄!

校友訪談

這是阿福站長2011年八月更新資料後,寫信問系上一位中國學生Kai Ding,他在百忙之中回覆我的~他今年畢業,已經在Yahoo找到User Experience的工作了喔!非常謝謝他的分享!

1. Have you meet any obstacle while apply Stanford Design program? Can you share your process, schedule and tips to next applicants?

I applied this program in my Senior year. This program has a requirement that the applicant should have at least one year experience outside of school. So I got a deferred admission from them. I worked one year in China and then came to this program. For the schedule, I finished my GRE and TOEFL test in September and started prepare my portfolio, ps and other documents in October. I send out all the documents one week before the deadline. I didn’t get a good score in the English tests. I think portfolio is the most important part in the application.

2. Could you brief what is your focus in Stanford Design program? Is there anything special that you like or dislike?

Stanford Design program is not a very typical Industrial Program. They don’t teach too much skills. The focus is the design thinking. We have a lot of instructors from IDEO and learned a lot about the process and methods from them. Recently the program start putting in more business part and trying to help students develop their design leadership. We believe a good design should have three parts, human factor, technology and business. The second year, we need to do our thesis project. Before, we will do individually. But from my year, we do the team project. 2 design students team up and figure out what want to do and basic direction. Then we could bring students from the other departments if we need. For example, my thesis project, I worked with a design student, a MBA and a JD.

I like this program very much. It helps me to understand more about the design thinking and also keep my vision broad, not just narrow me in the design world. Also Stanford is good at nearly every areas, I learned a lot from working with students in the other departments. And one more important thing is that Stanford has a very good entrepreneur culture.

3. How’s the classroom, environment or program office? Is it easy to find possibilities or select other interesting course?

We have our own design loft. Everyone has a cube and also plenty of common areas for show and work. We can choose classes from the entire school based on our own interest.

4. How’s the campus security? (or dorm security?)

Pretty good unless you are so careless

5. Roughly speaking, how much of ‘Annual cost’ while studying Design program in Stanford? Did you need to pay lots of extra for demo ideas?

It really depends. The tuition is 25000 per year. But we could do TA during the second year and if you want, maybe you could also do in your first year. We need to pay for demo in the classes. But you could find a cheaper way to do that. We have some funding for the thesis project.

6. Is there many resource for design program? Are they all in good condition? Do student really use or need them in course?

We have a small library with some design books. But Stanford has a lot of libraries where we could find nearly everything we need. Also we have some materials left by the former students.

7. Is it easy to learn more design or art off campus? Will design program faculty encourage you to join?

I don’t know what this mean. If you are not a student and want to audit the class, I think most teachers won’t mind.

8. How’s the comment of design program faculty? Did you really meet David Kelly in classroom or Tim Brown? How people think and learn about the promoting design thinking method?

The faculty are good. Most of them are very experienced designer and entrepreneur. David Kelly is our Academic director. I met him a lot and also he is one of the advisers of our thesis project. I didn’t met Tim Brown. The core of the design thinking method here is the user. No matter where we are and what we are doing in the design process, we should always consider the users.

9. Is it easy to find a good job after graduating? What kind of jobs do D-program alumni take? Do Stanford career center help a lot?

It depends. A lot of graduates start their own companies. Some of them doing consulting or design work. The Stanford career center will help a little bit. You need to build and reach out your network to get a better job.

  2. 谢谢站长分享,我有一个关于工作经验的问题。

    官方主页说毕业后必须要有一年工作经验,我六月毕业1月提交申请工作经验只有半年,但等到入学时就一年了,这样他们可以接受吗?

  3. 可以請教一下嗎?我對Stanford Design Program有興趣,上了它們網站研究了一下,有個部分仍然不太清楚,http://designprogram.stanford.edu/graduate.html這個網頁上說Design degree拿的是The Masters of Science in Engineering或The Master of Fine Arts,除了名字的不同,會有其他不同嗎?如教學方向、錄取條件等等?

  4. 不知道有沒有看清楚~ Stanford的設計有大學部嗎??
    我是還滿想念工設的啦~~> <
    最近一直在找資料 目前是滿中意SCAD獎學金多這一點(小女沒錢)
    不過史丹佛聽起來好像也很威(掩面)(或許可以兼修理工)(?)
