Arts Management Applied Minor (AM)
The arts management applied minor develops leadership and organizational expertise for application to arts and cultural organizations by strengthening performing and visual arts with managerial and entrepreneurial skills.
The arts management applied minor aims to:
- Build a bridge that empowers students in the arts with business skills that will be of use to them as independent contractors, arts administrators and future leaders in arts organizations.
- Encourage global management students and those with an interest in entrepreneurship and innovation to develop their individual creative problem-solving and expression skills.
- Help students to learn more about how these skills and can be combined in support of nonprofit arts organizations.
Students who don’t feel that they start with either a business or arts mindset will develop analysis, organization, expression and creative problem-solving skills, as they gain practical experience in collaboration and project management.
