<p>My highly motivated (high school freshman) D has decided that Mizzou will definitely be at the top of her list in a few years, but she is unsure as to whether or not the introduction to visual art will qualify as her 1 year of fine art. She is not a music or theater person, or even an art person for that matter, but decided to take this course in order to try and fulfill Mizzou's requirement. Ultimately she needs to ask admissions, but I thought I would just put the question out there.</p>
<p>The Missouri high school graduation requirements are for one year of fine arts. Consequently, university admissions also require one year of fine arts. In our high school, introduction to art is one semester, and they would need to take another art course for the second semester. </p>
<p>If you are out-of-state, I would ask admissions if this requirement is typically waived because I don't know if most states require a year of fine arts the way that Missouri does.</p>
<p>We're out of state. The art class she is taking is a "fine arts" course. Our school requires one year of fine art anyway, so she's completing that requirement.</p>
<p>My daughter is a Junior this year and she now has Mizzou at the top of her list. We live in Pennsylvania and we definately do not have a fine art's requirement. I think she took a computer graphics class that was about art with the computer - but that may be stretching it. Not sure if she should now take an arts class or not. She was thinking about taking a 4th year spanish class. </p>
<p>Also - I notice they mention 1 unit = 2 semester's. Our HS does things differently. They have longer periods and take a full year's worth of classes in one semester (but have less classes each semester). So this semester she has Honor's Chemistry, Honors World Literature, Honor's World Cultures and Spanish III. Next Semester she will have P.E. (1 marking period), Health (1 marking period), Psychology, Jouranlism and Honor's Alegebra II. </p>
<p>So she ends up with the same amount of class hours, but it's more concentrated in longer periods of time. Will this be a problem for her?</p>
