*Please help!* CHC and the meaning of "academic classes"?

Hi! This is a bit complicated, but I’m attending a so-so university (my individual college has low academic standards but an amazing acting program- the reason i’m there) but now I want other majors and I’m interested in coming out to UMass for their theatre program+whatever other studies i pursue.

On CHC’s site they say they will accept credit for what the school considers “academic courses”. Does this mean none of my arts-related credits will transfer? even if I’m going for a BA in theatre? I have 33 (i think) credits from my school, but at least half are theatre and dance credits. I have decent stats though, I think I could get in otherwise

3.68 UW
ACT 30
SAT 1810 (eh)
highschool gpa was bad but I’ve very obviously improved

I may or may not be attending my state flagship for fall semester, which is highly regarded as a rigorous university, in order to save money (or else staying at my old school). If I do get into the flagship and keep my grades up, I feel like it will show them that I can actually handle a more rigorous academic uni and still get good grades.

Any help?
