The Fine Art Of Attraction

US schools are becoming bigger draws for Chinese students with artistic aspirations. China Daily reports.

Autumn is around the corner and students are gearing up to start university across the country, but many will be looking further afield - heading for the United States for fine arts courses that are becoming more competitive at home.

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. It's a marked departure from the usual preference for the science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM.
