Applying to College

<p>I will be applying to the University of Tennessee soon and it says that I need to have taken a visual or performing art class in high school. This year(Senior year) i will be taking Dual Enrollment Fine Arts Survey. Is it considered a Visual or Performing Art?</p>

<p>I thought this would be an easy question, does anyone know?</p>

3

<p>I’ve never heard of that class, but it sounds like it’s art-related! Could you describe it?</p>

4

<p>Sure! The only description my school’s website gives is as below</p>

<p>Students learn more about the arts (music, drama, art, dance, etc.).</p>

<p>That’s all it says</p>

5

<p>Sounds like music/art appreciation but I wouldn’t think so? I’d assume visual/performing arts to be along the lines of photography, art, drafting, or orchestra.</p>

6

<p>Well this is what it says on the University’s requirement page.</p>

<p>1 unit – Arts</p>

<p>Dance, Theatre, Music (instrumental, vocal, history, or theory), Visual Art (studio art or art history)</p>

<p>So in a sense it includes history and stuff like that so isn’t that similar to what my class describes?</p>

7

<p>Oh then yeah, it would probably be fine. Didn’t know theory and history fell under their guidelines.</p>

<p>From “TENNESSEE HIGH SCHOOL COURSES WHICH MEET THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE AND TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS UNIVERSITY ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS”:

Basically the admissions people will evaluate it, and in all likelihood determine that it satisfies the VPA requirement.</p>

<p>Interesting, it seems that I should be fine. I sent an email to them anyway asking the same question. I just want to be sure just incase I should change me schedule while I still can.</p>
