Arts Administration
The minor in Arts Administration provides an introductory background to students with an interest in the management of non-profit arts and community organizations. Eligible students are declared majors or minors in music, theatre, and visual arts, or majors in business. The minor offers two tracks depending on the student's major. It provides Arts students with an introductory foundation in business and economics, and SBA students with further literature and practical study in the arts. Core courses explore special issues and challenges that the art community faces today. The minor integrates classroom study with real-world experiences with area arts organizations. The Arts Administration minor requires nineteen semester hours, including seven semester hours of core interdisciplinary courses.
