<p>I am short in Visual/Performing arts for the a-g requirements for UC's.</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm ( with proof: An official website, some text from a UC website, ect) that AP art history (self study) will fill this requirement?</p>
<p>I’d like to know too :)</p>
<p>At my school it is considered a fine art</p>
<p>Anyone? 10char</p>
<p>No, it will not. Self-studying for an AP test has not yielded any high school credit for the 4 classes I have done it for. A-g requirements are based on high school credits, I think.</p>
<p>Anyone care to confirm?</p>
<p>The above poster is mistaken. A score of a 3 or higher on AP Art History, any of the AP Studio Art exams, or the AP Music Theory exam will provide you with the necessary credit to satisfy the “f” requirement for the University of California. It can also be satisfied through a college course (from many categories, including art history) of three semester or four quarter units, which is the most common approach taken by out-of-state students.</p>
<p>If you’re going to be a senior next year, you might consider going to a community college in a summer session or at night to ensure that you’ll receive credit. UC allows you to report if you plan to take an exam, which may or may not clear that “f” requirement (not sure on that). But if you fail the exam, you’d be in the boat with those who get a “D” or “Fail” in senior-level English classes. In such a situation, you’d definitely have to take the course at a college before entering the UC campus you are accepted to and decide upon in the fall. </p>

<p>Mea culpa.</p>
<p>Hrm, on another note…</p>
<p>I will be taking a summer school class @ my local community college for Art History (5 weeks :p)</p>
<p>You should look into doing this, if you wish. Much easier than self studying, and you get credit without an AP test.</p>
