The Arts Administration program combines study in the arts and humanities with concentrations in business and communications. The program provides all students with a strong undergraduate liberal arts education, a basic understanding of the business world, and a comprehensive education in one of the three arts disciplines of art, music and theatre. The program also emphasizes applying information learned in the classroom to hands-on, relevant work experiences, including volunteer activities, internships and paid work both on and off-campus. Advisors and faculty within the Arts Administration Program are readily available and are committed to establishing a one-on-one relationship with each student.
