<p>Hey, I'm an aspiring sophmore looking at colleges right now (just when I have some free time). I have been looking at all of the UCs. I have heard that the UC system, as do alot of colleges, look for a "fine art" credit in their students. For my projected path of the IB diploma with a 7th period of marketing, I can't fit in a fine-art class. So, I am looking into classes at local community colleges. The "after highschool" counselor at my school said something about the UCs looking for something like "beginning drama", and "advanced drama", so something beyond the beginning class. Is this true?</p>
<p>I'm really interested in some Art History classes because 1) They sound interesting, and 2) I won't have to draw anything (since I'm atrocious at it). As far as I can tell (I will inquire with the school, as well as my own), these art history classes don't have an "advanced class" for after the beginning class. Where as photography obviously does have a beginning-intermediate-advanced class.</p>
<p>well you can take AP Art History at my school as a fine art (which i find ridiculous in principle but w/e). so that would probly satisfy the requirement, assuming AP Art = intro. college art history. i dont believe u are judged on the rigor of the fine art, itz simply a req. also, itz a COLLEGE level class so for a hs student, i would imagine that seems kind of rigorous, simply based on titles. (yes i know itz probly an easy A but u get my drift)</p>
<p>UC’s ( and hs?) merely require 1 year of a fine art, w/e it may be. </p>
<p>this belongs in the regular UC forum tho, not the transfer thread</p>
<p>This does sound like the freshman admissions requirement and not transfer admission requireents. Nonetheless, please review the information under the “f- Visual and Performing Arts” section of [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/agr.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman/advising/admission/agr.html) for which courses you might consider taking.</p>
