How difficult is art courses in college? #Spring25
I have taken a year off from math classes in high school and now am worried about what math looks like in college. I am going to Lycoming College for Film and Video Arts.

Hi Emma,
I'm a little unclear about what you're asking. If you're thinking that you need an easy course in case math proves difficult, I wouldn't take an art course. The thing about most studio courses is that they're open ended--you get out what you put into them and evaluations are somewhat subjective, unlike other subjects where you have a clear set of instructions to follow, like doing a reading and answering some questions for which there are right and wrong answers, and then you're done.
Do you have some more specifics that could help us answer your question better?
Hope this was somewhat helpful--let me know!

Hi Emma,
For my first BA degree, I had to take math classes, which was tough because I have a math-learning disability. I really struggled without tutors. Luckily, for my second BA and my MFA, I didn't need any math classes. I hope this info helps!
