More flexibility in art and music requirement:

The revised program will still require four credits total, but there will be a minimum of one credit, instead of two, in each subject. This will allow students who would rather focus their attention on one subject spend minimal time on the other. Theater will count as an art class for students who wish to take it.

To be eliminated:

• Theatre requirement

• Yearlong art or music requirement
