SAT Scores of Students Who Study the Arts: What We Can and Cannot Conclude about the Association

September 1, 2000 | Informal/Formal Connections
The authors examine SAT data from the College Board in order to examine the correlation between the number of years of art education and SAT scores. By studying twelve years of data, they find that studying art is associated with higher SAT scores, and that students who take four years of art courses have higher scores than those who take some art but less than four years' worth.
