Selecting Your Courses
Part 5
The Arts
Research
indicates that students who participate in the arts often do better in school
and on standardized tests. The arts help you recognize patterns, discern differences
and similarities, and exercise your mind in unique ways, often outside a
traditional classroom setting.
Many colleges
require or recommend one or two semesters in the arts. Good choices include
studio art, dance, music and drama. Many students have talents and
extraordinary abilities in the arts. Students should look within their own
repertoire of talents and identify their artistic abilities and take college
classes to develop their talents.
Advanced Placement (AP)
To be
sure you are ready to take on college-level work, enroll in the most
challenging courses you can in high school, such as honors or AP courses. Research
consistently shows that students who score a 3.0 or higher on an AP Exam
typically experience greater academic success and college graduation peaks of
achievement.
