The Bachelor of Arts in arts management curriculum outlined below provides an interdisciplinary program in arts management, business, performing arts and an area of artistic specialization in art, film, music, or theatre. The degree prepares students for careers in arts organizations, arts related businesses and graduate study in arts management. Students are also required to complete an arts management internship as a capstone experience to practically apply the concepts and techniques learned in the classroom.
