<p>triguena, I’m not sure what exactly you’re disagreeing with regarding my previous post. I never said that ALL schools handled their arts major classes that way, I said many, and many do! I gave the example of NYU because it has large populations of students interested in the arts, and one of my Ds is a grad. Sampling classes is certainly possible, but not the classes which a longtime student of music, dance, drama, film, or studio art will likely be interested in taking. That was my point. The girl which the OP was inquiring for is a talented musician and dancer who wanted to continue to take dance in a challenging dance program while majoring in journalism. She wouldn’t be looking for beginner/Open Arts type classes, which is all she’d be able to take at NYU.</p>
