In the early admissions process, the former Department of Traditional Art and Crafts at the College of Cultural Heritage has been reorganized into four departments under the College of Fine Arts: Department of Traditional Ceramics and Crafts, Department of Traditional Textile Crafts, Department of Traditional Formative Arts, and Department of Traditional Painting. Applicants are now required to choose between a major-focused or general type practical test.
