Arts Administration and Entrepreneurship, B.S.: 4-year sequence     

Introduction

Arts Administration and Entrepreneurship supports a refined understanding of how the arts function in society in the 21st century. The arts have the power to shape individuals, engage with current issues, and build communities. To help artists and entrepreneurs achieve these goals, an administrator needs a well-balanced mix of creativity, programming, marketing, community organizing, and collaboration. 

The Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration and Entrepreneurship  will prepare graduates to work in the art field of the 21st century that is increasingly collaborative and cross-disciplinary. The program takes advantage of our well-developed Business and Management program as well as courses in the arts, to prepare graduates for careers in administration for various arts organizations, both for-profit and non-profit.
