Arts Management is an academic field of study as well as a career
path for those interested in supporting the work of performing,
visual and media artists. Arts managers learn a broad range of management
and administrative skills, and apply those skills in their work
with artists and arts institutions.

The curriculum for Arts Management includes studies in strategic
planning, fund raising, grantwriting, programming, special event
planning, audience development, volunteerism, board development,
financial management and arts policy.
The program has a close relationship with the School
of Business and Economics. Through this alliance, students are provided
with a strong foundation in business law, accounting and economics.
Who should consider the major or minor? Students
who are interested in Art History, Studio Art, Theatre, Dance and
Music who wish to combine work in an artistic discipline with management
and administrative skills are good candidates. Also artists who
wish to combine their artistic work with management and administrative
skills. Additionally students interested in Business, Economics,
and Communications who wish to broaden their career choices may
be interested in a minor or double major. Finally managers, employees,
directors and volunteers currently working with arts and cultural
organizations who wish to become more effective at managing those
organizations.
