Arts Management Program
Simply put, it's bringing art to life.
Arts Management prepares students to create, develop, facilitate, and evaluate arts and cultural programs and organizations. Students explore the leadership, business, and administrative sides of the arts and take advantage of diverse internships and professional experiences in the creative sector. Many students double major or minor in an artistic discipline or in related areas across campus. The possibilities are endless.
