The Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration & 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.
