Arts Administration GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN
The Graduate Certificate in Arts Administration and Cultural Entrepreneurship provides an interdisciplinary approach to leadership innovation in performance, visual arts, cultural, and community organizations. The arts sector is more vital and dynamic than ever, flourishing in major arts institutions and non-hierarchical organizations, including artist-run spaces and community institutions. This context, paired with changes in the nonprofit funding climate of the past thirty years, have generated a need to transform leadership training in the arts sector. Increasingly, creative thinkers must be equipped with administrative, analytical, and technological skill sets to work within the complex, interdependent arts and cultural ecosystem. In response, the Graduate Certificate in Arts Administration and Cultural Entrepreneurship offers a dynamic course of study in which students are challenged to create diverse, viable, and sustainable projects and organizations; to use entrepreneurial practices in order to create transformation; to develop and deploy new arts and culture sector-focused business and analytic skills; and to design innovative planning and engagement strategies. This program is offered in a hybrid format, consisting of both online and on-site coursework.
