Arts Management, B.A.


Director

Kirsten Olds, Art History

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) 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 studies, music, or theatre. The degree prepares students for careers in arts organizations, arts-related businesses, and graduate study in arts management. Students are required to complete practicums and internships for practical application of the concepts and techniques that they learned in the classroom, culminating in a senior project.  Semester internships may be completed locally, regionally, nationally, and/or internationally through special arrangements.

All students complete the following core studies in arts management. Because of the interdisciplinary nature and the number of courses required for the major, students in arts management are required to complete an Advertising Minor  or Advertising Certificate .

Learning Objectives


  1. Students will acquire knowledge and skill in at least one field of the arts (visual art, music, theatre, or film) and an overview of the other art areas.
  2. Students will attain an understanding of arts organizations and knowledge of the business and administrative tools and functions required for arts management.
