Program

With the increase in the number of performing and visual arts facilities, arts councils and arts advocacy groups, there is a growing need for individuals with both artistic sensibilities and business acumen to work in these organizations. The program prepares students for entry-level management positions in nonprofit arts organizations and for graduate study in arts administration, or in related graduate programs such as business and law. Approximately one third of the credits in the major are concentrated in the arts. Students declare a primary concentration in one of five areas: art studio, art history, music performance, music history, and theatre. Students may also take additional arts-related courses outside of their primary concentration, including classes in Architecture, Dance and English. The other two thirds of the courses in the curriculum are business-related courses that apply to the management of nonprofit organizations. Arts Administration Program faculty teaches many of these courses; others are offered through the College of Business and Economics, and the College of Communications and Information Studies.
