I do think Algebra2 could be considered one of several higher level math classes counting for the 4-year requirement, including Statistics and Discrete Math. I really do believe there’s too much focus on algebra/trig in our curriculum and not enough stats, math for life, logic, discrete math that count as College prep.
Now, it’s highly unlikely that a BFA will care about Algebra2, but Admissions at Suny Purchase may. A portfolio is typically the most important part of BFA admissions.
Look into a CUNY too, perhaps?
Have you really run the NPC on Muhlenberg?
What’s your efc and what can you afford?
