Coursework provides students with the necessary theory and practice to begin careers as artists, work in managerial settings of theaters, music organizations, art museums, dance groups and other arts organizations, or gain acceptance into a graduate program.

Course Details

The Arts Management program of study combines a liberal arts core curriculum and an interdisciplinary blend of artistic and managerial courses. General business courses focus on fundamental principles of accounting, finance, business law, marketing and management. The balance of the curriculum is dedicated to course content specific to the student's chosen concentration.
