Dual Master of Arts in Arts Administration and Master of Museum and Heritage Studies (MAAA-MMHS) with Australian National University (ANU)

In spring 2017, the Arts Administration program launched a partnership with the Museum and Heritage Studies program at Australia National University (ANU). Graduate students in Arts Administration may now pursue a two year dual degree when they receive a Masters of Arts in Arts Administration from SPEA and a Master of Museum and Heritage Studies from ANU. You must apply to both programs concurrently and be accepted to both programs in order to participate in this opportunity. ANU is located in Canberra, Australia and boasts a beautiful campus and diverse array of course offerings.
