The Arts Administration program reflects the conviction that the management of cultural institutions and arts organizations requires strategic planning, artistic creativity and social commitment. The arts managers capable of responding to the challenges and responsibilities of the arts must possess integrated management and financial skills, knowledge of the artistic process in which they are involved and sensitivity to the dynamics and educational needs of the communities they serve. The Program, which offers a Master of Arts degree, represents an alliance of four disciplines: arts, education, business, and law. It is designed to help professionals meet the challenges of the next decade. These challenges include questions about the long-term health of arts organizations; their missions, governance and management; sources of income, and tax regulations. Such issues as freedom of expression, First Amendment rights, censorship and government intervention in the arts have important implications for international, educational, and cultural policy, and are integral to the Program. Today, arts administration training in the United States is a model in the field that addresses worldwide concerns.
