As champions of culture and creativity, many arts organizations operate on a not-for-profit basis. But the commercial or asset-driven arts industries – from theater, publishing, visual art, film, television, and music – have always been of equal or greater importance, both as leaders in their fields and as economic engines for their growth and development.

The MA in Arts Management has been designed with this duality in mind. Spanning the spectrum from the visual and performing arts to media and entertainment, and from the nonprofit organization to the commercial creative enterprise, the Arts Management program produces skilled administrators, executives, and entrepreneurs who understand what is needed to build and guide the next generation of creative industries.
