I am currently an undergraduate junior at Savannah College of Art and Design studying Art History. As I delve deeper into the subject, I am finding that my interests are slowly shifting towards History and Political Science.
Coming from a chiefly art background, I understand that I am at a disadvantage compared to most students. My passion, however, is no longer in art, but mostly in politics. It’s a strange shift, but it’s a genuine one. I’ve studied politics extensively in my free time and read any political theory that I can get my hands on. I’m currently rereading Machiavelli’s The Prince for the fourth time.
Will my undergraduate education at an art school keep me from getting into a renowned History or Political Science program? I am really worried that I’ll be at a crazy disadvantage.
