Selecting your Courses
Part 5
The Arts
Research indicates
that students who participate in the arts often do better in school and o 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 recommended 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 abilities and take college classes to develop their
talents.
Advanced Placement Program® (AP®)
To
be sure you already 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 rates than
students who don’t take AP.
