@toowonderful, yes they get credits for all those hours of dance. Ithaca has a weird credit system with a lot of very low credit classes. One semester my D had 11 classes (all different, but some were for 1 credit, some for 3, etc. Another semester she had 9 classes. They spend the most hours in acting classes, and probably equal # of hours in music related classes (music theory, voice lessons, rep class, keyboarding, etc.) and dance. Does that sound about right @maMTma? They have more than an 18 hour credit load, although it’s hard to compare b/c they don’t do it by credit hours. For example, their tech requirement (which is only freshman year for MTs) is only 1 credit, but took up 20 hours per week for some of them, for approximately 4 weeks (not every week in the semester).
