CT State University System Requires HS Arts Study For Admission

Beginning in 7/1/15, students must complete 1 credit of study in the arts for admission to the four universities in the Connecticut State University system. This is part of the CSU system’s efforts to align its entrance requirements with Connecticut’s proposed new high school graduation requirements, which also include a full credit in the arts. The state board of education had voted in the fall of 2008 to support such graduation requirements however they have not yet been legislated. It is expected that there will be a bill introduced containing the recommended high school graduation requirements at some point during regular legislative session.
