Would this be a good class to take?

Question

I'm going off to college as a freshman and majoring in Biology. So far, I'm enrolled in a Bio class, Chem class, Chem Lab, Bio Lab, and History (required). That is 12 credit hours, and I have a variety to choose from for the General Ed requirement.

For that requirement, I'm thinking of an art class (Ceramics I), but it has nothing to do with my major. I just enjoy it and thinking it will help for stress. Is that okay that it has nothing to do with my major?

Answer 1

I do ceramics and it is great for stress, however i am a little surprised that you don't have a math class.    

Answer 2

you will love it!

Answer 3

I guess you could use it as an elective. Even if you have financial aid it shouldn't effect it.

Answer 4

do what ever you want but sometimes colleges have requirements of the electives like an english class, a humanities class, a language, a math class...check your requirements and get those out of the way first plus art/ fun classes usually get taken first by upperclassman who have registered last spring.

Answer 5

Absolutely it's ok.  As long as it fulfills your a requirement it won't hurt you, and if it's a subject you like why not take it?

I'm a criminal justice major, but I fulfilled my university's Diversity requirement by taking Japanese even though it has nothing to do with my major.  I also took weight lifting to fulfill a elective requirement.

Answer 6

Every college requires some kind of art, so if you want to take cermnics go ahead.  a lot of the general education requirements has nothing to do with a lot of majors, so you might as well take a class you can enjoy.  I took Theater for my art requirement, and it has nothing to with social work, but its something i enjoy.
