AMCAS actually classifies art history under "Fine Arts (ARTS)" -- see page 40 of the 2016 AMCAS Instruction Manual. I only know this because I took a bunch of art history courses and just finished entering coursework into my app this past weekend. Hope this helps!

Why are you listing an AP course?

Why are you listing an AP course?

From the Instruction Manual:

Advanced Placement (AP)
To claim AP credit, the credit hours must be listed on your transcript. AP courses should be entered under the term in which the college credit was initially granted. If no term is designated, include these credits with freshman coursework (FR). Include AP credit courses only once (by selecting Advanced Placement as the Special Course Type), even though AP credit for the same subject may have been awarded by more than one institution. AP courses can be assigned under the institution awarding the most credit. If AP credits appear in one block on the transcript, distribute the credit appropriately among the AP exams taken.
