Minor in Arts Management
The Arts Management minor is designed for arts majors or students with a strong background in at least one area of the arts. Students interested in this minor must be approved by the arts management minor director.
Combined with the skills and education gained through study in a specific arts discipline, this minor provides instruction in basic areas of arts management, including: microeconomics, financial accounting, cultural policy and the arts environment, business models, entrepreneurship, strategic and artistic planning, governance and leadership, fund-raising, marketing, and communications.
This program is designed for students who have deep interest and training in a creative discipline who are also passionate about the arts in education and in modern society. The program is aimed at providing insight into the professional arts industry in the United States and abroad, but also explores creative entrepreneurialism.
The Minor in Arts Management is ideal for all aspiring musicians, dancers, actors, writers, technicians, or visual artists because it provides knowledge and skills that are integral to career development that aren’t taught in the typical studio-based university Arts curriculum.
