Academic Credit

Tennessee Arts Academy participants may elect to receive academic credit for their week of study at the Academy. 

Options of two (2) or three (3) hours of undergraduate credit, or one (1) or two (2) hours of graduate credit through Belmont are available to TAA participants (i.e., to teachers who apply to TAA, are accepted by TAA, who submit all required materials/fees, and who participate fully in the full Academy week).

Cost for Academic credit through Belmont University is in addition to cost for the Tennessee Arts Academy participation.
