Abstract | An analysis of surveys conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics shows that the overwhelming majority of U.S. secondary schools offered one or more courses in the arts and in the humanities during the 1981-1982 school year. The arts program most commonly available was music, offered by over 90 percent of the schools; the humanities offerings at nearly all schools included English and history. Regarding enrollment, approximately 69 percent of high school seniors had taken one or more courses in the arts between their freshman and their senior years, and 99 percent had taken at least one humanities course. An overview of the study findings is presented. Specifically discussed are offerings and enrollments in arts and humanities as related to school type; school size, region, and urbanicity; percent of students in an academic high school program; availability of a gifted-talented program; student body characteristics; and percent of graduates expected to enter college. The characteristics of students concentrating in the arts and humanities are also examined. The appendix contains descriptions of the sample designs, data sources, and data adjustments, and a complete list of arts and humanities courses offered. (RM) |
