    Ad-Hoc Arts Administration Major – Visual Arts Specialization

    Department of Fine and Performing Arts

    Bachelor of Arts students interested in a career in the field of management and administration in one of the performing or fine arts may consider the interdisciplinary arts administration specialization. Students complete an appropriate ad hoc major including courses in art and theatre; an internship in an arts organization; and arts administration courses. Since the ad hoc major must be approved by the faculty advisor, it is essential that students make an appointment to discuss their interest in pursuing this area of study.

    Students must have overall GPAs of 3.0 or higher to be accepted into this ad hoc major.

    Students pursuing the Bachelor of Business Administration, arts administration is an interdisciplinary specialization that can also provide BBA students with the arts and sciences background to prepare for entry into fields like management in the creative arts.
