You absolutely don’t need to major in art. For many colleges, they will still value your art accomplishments regardless of majors, at least those that are “holistic” with admissions.

I strongly suggest that you submit an art supplement with examples of your work (doesn’t have to be a full portfolio), an art resume that includes art classes, AP class, awards, and finally, letter(s) of recommendation from art teacher(s).

You do not have to be an art major to submit an art supplement. (Some schools, like UC’s, don’t accept supplements but most do).

You can also go to the visual arts major forum here on CC. You do not have to be an art major to use that forum.

ps Not sure if you would be interested in a double major or even double degree. Sounds like your preference is to major in something else and maybe do art on the side, which is also fine.
