Most colleges require 1 credit of visual arts?

XC Rules asked:


1. Why?
and…
2. If I don’t take any visual arts classes during my high school career, but I take other things like AP Calculus, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry, do you think a college like Ohio State will still accept me?

    If it is a requirement, no matter how many AP classes you take, they won’t consider you. Colleges want you to be a well-rounded person, so just take the class. It will be easy.

    I have never taken a visual arts class and I went to a large state school also. This is actually the first I heard of it.
    Talk to the counselors at Ohio state and see what they will and will not accept. I know people above said they wont consider you without it, but thats not true. I know a lot of people who didn’t take certain classes in high school and therefore had to take them while they are in college- its just an extra pain to have to take it later.
    My advice: contact the school, chances are its not that big of a deal. (and its only 1 credit, whats the big whoop anyway?)
