Arts Management

Minor only (minimum 24 credits)

The minor in Arts Management emphasizes entrepreneurial skills focusing on innovation, risk taking, and communication. Students are encouraged to channel their creative energies toward the development of successful business ventures. Courses are taught with a focus on experiential learning using real-world examples and national industry resources from both for-profit and not-for-profit models suitable for all art forms. Skills developed in this minor will equip students to work for established organizations, start their own businesses, or manage themselves as independent artists.

The minor is available to students enrolled in any major across campus. Housed in the Department of Theatre and Film, the minor was developed with support from the Schmidthorst College of Business Entrepreneurial Program and integrates core business classes from its curriculum.
