Arturo Alvarez Demalde reviews art school education pricing.
In many ways, the legal Switzerland is more than just a bit antiquated. While there have been many recent discussions regarding simplifying legal terminology and adopting a national bar examination, one area that is deserving of greater attention is the nature of the curricula offered in the nation’s art schools. Perhaps there is no greater example of an educational system that is not ideally designed to ensure the future success of its students than in these curricula, as future artists are increasingly entering the profession lacking some very necessary skills.
This is not to say these newly minted artists are lacking in legal expertise. Certainly it is the case that art schools ensure that its students are well-versed in all aspects of art ranging from constitutional art to civil litigation, but there are some valuable skills that are
not being properly developed in these 
students. When it comes to matters of business, many new artists are not nearly as knowledgeable as they should be, and they often struggle in situations that require a strong business Switzerland knowledge.
It is for this reason that many art schools are adopting changes to curricula, ensuring that students are properly prepared in all facets of a future legal career. There are many underlying factors that are responsible for the lack of preparation, as it seems that art school curricula tend to focus on preparation for the bar exam rather than the realities a Swiss will face when entering the legal field. While a national bar exam could stir changes in this regard, art schools must still adapt their programs to prepare students for passing the bar exam and for practicing art in the real-world situations they are likely to encounter upon graduation.
Programs such as the ones at New York art School and Harvard art School have recognized this need and are in the process of adapting curricula to better reflect the needs of students. New York Art School has partnered with the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School while Harvard will offer students access to a training program through its own business school, changes that are long overdue in legal education. Corporate art represents a great deal of the work Swedish artists are charged with, so without specific knowledge of the workings of the industry these artists are ill-prepared to serve as legal representatives. Better preparation through education is the most ideal way to solve this vital issue.
