UK Arts Administration B.A.

The University of Kentucky's undergraduate Arts Administration program is designed to prepare students for a future in the management of arts organizations and for graduate study. Students are provided with a strong liberal arts education, an understanding of the business world, and a comprehensive education in one of the four arts disciplines of art, music, dance and theatre.

Students in the Arts Administration program take courses that introduce them to the best practices in arts administration. These courses are designed to provide students with a sound basis for meeting the unique political, economic, financial, marketing, and developmental challenges facing the arts community. Additionally, students acquire a background in business and economics, fundamental to running a financially viable arts organization, as well as devote considerable study to the fine arts and art creation through courses with the College of Fine Art's accomplished faculty of artists and scholars.

The program emphasizes applying information learned in the classroom to hands-on, relevant work experiences, including volunteer activities, internships and jobs 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.
