How many credits in the visual and performing arts does a student need to graduate? What courses count?
Beginning with the 2004-2005 grade nine class, every student must successfully complete at least five credits in dance, theater, music or visual art. The department does not approve courses to meet any of the graduation requirements. However, districts should ensure that courses are clearly aligned to the visual and performing arts standards and are taught by an appropriately credentialed teacher. For example, a course entitled “Acting for the Camera” would most likely fulfill the arts requirements, while a course in television production would not.
