The Arts in higher education

About this book

In June 1967, the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE), a department of the National Education Association, received a matching grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to conduct a study of access and barriers to the arts in higher education. This report to the Endowment completes the first phase of the project. This report highlights questions dealing with collegiate admissions practices as they affect access to the arts, the need for curricular reform in the arts at both the secondary and higher education levels, and the value structure underlying public and professional attitudes toward the arts in schools, colleges, and universities.
