＊Modern Outlook with Traditional Essence

Tainan National University of The Arts adopts a modern outlook with traditional essence, with focus on the merge of everyday life with art and concept of comprehensive art campus. Accordingly, we establish four colleges—the visual arts, sound and image studies, humanities and arts, and performing arts.

The Visual Arts, Sound and Image Studies, Humanities and Arts, and Performing Arts

The College of Visual Arts includes the graduate institutes of Plastic Arts, Applied Arts, and Building Arts. The College of Humanities and Arts includes art history and art criticism, and museology. The graduate institute of Museology is the first and unprecedented kind in Taiwan. Despite of similar research-oriented programs offered at other institutes, Tainan National University of The Arts aims to combine professional curriculum with its practical application in the field. The courses offered in art history and art criticism will also be opened to students of other disciplines.

The College of Sound and Image studies entails the arts of motion pictures and television, inclusive of the narrative, documentary, and animated pictures. There are similar programs offered in Taiwan but they are short of competitive quality to international standard. Our program aims to design a visual arts education with state-of-the art technology.

The College of Performing Arts includes Department of Music, Department of Chinese Music, Department of Applied Music, Graduate Institute of Ethnomusicology, and Graduate Institute of Collaborative Piano. The two music departments, Music, and Chinese Music are unique in Taiwan in their designation of recruiting prominent junior high school graduates with art potential to receive a 7-year consecutive education that leads them to a B.A. degree in music. The establishment of the department of Applied Music, founded in 2002, helps to realize our country’s long-felt wish to train young talents in the performing arts, and in 2002, the graduate institute of Ethnomusicology was established followed by in 2003, the graduate institute of Collaborative Piano.
