NPHC grade requirements?

I also feel the need to defend art history and interior design, at least at UGA. Art history was a rigorous as regular history, FWIW, which I realize isn't the same as being a hard science major. And interior design, if you took it through the school of art, was actually a very highly selective and rigorous program.

If you feel the need to defend, knock yourself out. I was an Architecture major who minored in Art History and Italian, so, I think I know of what I speak. Art History was by far one of the most popular majors in my sorority, and it was as well for the other NPC on my campus. I knew more NPHC sorority members--not just at my school, but in my family--taking engineering and hard sciences. Those classes can do a number on your GPA that Intro to the Renaissance just can't.

I had to take an engineering class to fill one of my Structures requirements, and I can totally vouch for the fact that the class was one of the hardest ones I've taken. Art history isn't a total walk in the park, but I'd take 10 of those classes any day over engineering.

I completely agree that Art History is easier than engineering. But if you were looking for easy classes at UGA, it didn't top the list, maybe just because we had easier stuff (remember that intro to basketball final that made the news with Jim Herrick Jr?).

It's not that I think Art History is super-hard; there's just no way, in my experience, that it's in the same league as education. And AH didn't seem to be a particularly Greek major at my school when I was there.
