Many middle schools offer fine arts courses of less than a semester in length. How could they meet the “two semester or the equivalent” requirement?
Many middle schools offer classes that are in a nine- or 12-week rotation. In order to meet the two semester or the equivalent requirement, a student would have to complete four fine arts courses within the nine-week-long rotations (4 courses x 9 weeks = 36 weeks of FA, the equivalent of two semesters) or three fine arts courses within 12-week-long rotations (3 courses x 12 weeks = 36 weeks of FA, the equivalent of two semesters).
