Teaching
Typically, students start the concentration with little or no knowledge of arts management. They may be interested in acting, art history, vocal performance or another area of study and wish to complement those passions with an understanding of management. Parents are often supportive of arts management because it combines the students’ love of performance with practical career options. Whatever the reason, students in the arts management program have a variety of backgrounds and interests, which provide unique perspectives in class discussion.
In the classroom, faculty use real-world examples and practical situations to give students current information about the field. All faculty who teach in the concentration hold professional positions in the field, lending their expertise and professional passion to the day's lesson. Students learn from those who do.
Through a unique network of artists and executives, students are exposed to guest lecturers and speakers in every course. Often, students maintain relationships with these leaders, resulting in internship and employment opportunities.
