Master of Science in Arts Administration

Requirements for Admission
In addition to meeting the general requirements for admission to graduate studies, applicants should present a résumé demonstrating a strong affinity for the field through work, volunteer experiences, education, or special training. Undergraduate preparation must include at least one course in financial accounting, two courses in the history or literature of an art, and/or two courses in the practical or creative aspects of an art. Applicants who lack this preparation (or the equivalent) must complete work in the above areas during the first two terms in the program.

An important part of the admissions process is a personal interview with the Program Director. Potential applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview through the Department of Performing Arts (215-895-2453) once the application is processed through Graduate Admissions.

Financial Assistance
A limited number of assistantships are available. Students should indicate their interest in these positions in their initial letters of inquiry. Students are also encouraged to explore other assistantships available across the University. In the past, arts administration students have held positions in the honors program, the Greek Life Office, the Leadership Program, and the College of Evening and Professional Studies. Awards are made annually on a competitive basis.
