Master of Science Program in Arts Administration

Program Requirements
Each student is assisted with the planning and completion of a program of study in accordance with the student’s needs and career goals. Each candidate for the M.S. in arts administration must complete 45 credits, including courses in cultural policy, management skills, and fund development. To enable the student to tailor the program of study to meet his or her career goals, a variety of electives are offered. Students may identify tracks in marketing, fund development, finance, or research through their selection of electives.

Many of our students work in an appropriate related arts job associated with a professional arts organization. After completing all core courses, some students choose to complete an internship within the arts and cultural community. The student's thesis grows out of the internship experience or can address a research topic that the student chooses to explore further.
