My sister’s studying architectural design, and holy moly she spends a TON of time in studio. I can’t imagine combining her major’s time demands with premed courses–youch. Another thing to look into is how much flexibility you’ll have with your schedule should you choose art–I know for art programs here, they’re just that…programs. Other majors have considerable freedom–“Take 2 physics classes before you graduate”–but art programs here require you to take certain classes each semester, leaving very little wiggle room for adding premed prereqs and a huge conundrum if classes conflict.

Keep in mind there are other ways to do art than to major in it. Maybe a minor would make more sense. Maybe working for an after school art program for kids would make more sense.
