thanks (totally haven't been on in a few months XD)

I can tell you about how my degree was and how it will probably be like if the school you go to is similar. First, to get into the major, I had to submit a portfolio, this included ten pieces of art I had made in the last couple years. I would recommend that even if you want to focus on one specific aspect of fine art (so my case, of course, is ceramics) that you submit things from a wide variety of mediums. The people reviewing it will not all be from the same medium and they generally want to see a diversity of it. look at the requirements for joining the major for your school though, some might have it easier or harder. once you have succeeded in being accepted, you can expect a mixture of art classes and art history classes. You will more than likely need both of them (I would be surprised if the school you are at doesn't need art history classes). How time consuming it is after that point is totally up to you and your projects. If you are talking a drawing class and you aren't the best at drawing (or even if you are great at drawing) you will probably be drawing things far bigger than what you are used to and you could end up spending anywhere between a couple hours to 40 hours on one project depending on what it is for that class. probably one of the few classes that didn't take up much time outside of class time was glass blowing for me but that is also because you can't just go glass blow whenever, you need a team behind you while doing it. 

It can really depend on the class though and how much time you want to put into it to succeed that will define how much time you have to put towards it. I would also recommend that if you want an art degree to take some classes that are either how to get your work out there or a business type class! (unless you just want to take the degree because you want an art degree and you aren't planning on doing art as anything close to a job in the future)
