How to link art ecs to stem major?Answered
I’m interested in a science or engineer major, specifically chemical engineering or maybe public health. I know it’s not required that your ecs have to be related to your chosen major. But is it required or recommended to link your ecs to your chosen major? If so, how?
Besides three or four (excluding work), most of my ecs are related to art. I was in:
-Theatre class with out-of-school hours performances
-Drama club with several performances
-Art club with participation in an art exhibit/competition in my state
-Currently in a summer art program that will show my art and my participation online and in-person with the possibility of someone buying my art
-I’ve been posting art online for over a decade (my two older accounts are still up and no longer being used but I’m still active on my recent one).
-Though it’s not confirmed, I’m also expecting to be put into dance class that will have live performances and will be my art club for my last year with the expectation of doing the art exhibit/comp again.
How can I connect this to my major? Or am I over thinking this?

as a fellow student also interested in STEM and the arts, i mostly focus on my "real world skills" with my art forms. i'm a Captain of my Color Guard team, and help at an art studio for fun (to list off my top things). to me that shows commitment, leadership and dedication. try relating your arts to real world skills that can be applied anywhere, like communication, leadership, creative problem solving and so much more. show how the arts shaped your skills, and how you can apply that to majoring in Chemical Engineering or whatever you end up choosing!

Yeah, I asked the same thing on College Confidential and the advice I’ve heard is some of this and some of “the ecs don’t matter/you don’t have to connect it.” I didn’t think about it shaped my skills, I’ll see what I can do with that. Thanks.
