|
The arts management curriculum provides career training and practical experience for those with a passion for the arts and whose talents are in the field of administration and/or marketing. The arts manager not only must develop a variety of management skills but also must maintain a high degree of sensitivity to aesthetics.
Students are provided a broad background in all of the arts with an opportunity to study a specific art in more depth. Additionally, each studen gains vital practical experience working in the arts during internships on the University campus and in an approved off -campus professional arts organization.
Training in the arts is combined with the development of skills in accounting,advertising, personnel management, labor relations and various other areas of business through a program of study that includes management and marketing. Graduates are equipped to enter the arts management field or to pursue further study in arts administration.
Because the arts management field is rapidly evolving, it is advantageous for the student to maintain regular contact with an adviser during their entire program to avoid unnecessary difficulties before and after completion of the program. Arts institutions vary in their personnel needs.
EMU’s arts management curriculum is divided into four sections: general education requirements, arts management major, a management or marketing minor (see College of Business) and two internships. |
