Arts Management - George Mason University

Arts Management from George Mason University is a Campus Master Arts Management degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career.

The Washington, D.C., region is home to one of the nation's largest concentrations of performing and visual arts organizations. The demand for arts managers with skills in financial and budgetary management, strategic management and entrepreneurship, and public relations, including marketing and advertising, has arguably never been more acute. The need for arts managers with skills in philanthropy, fund raising, and ongoing relationship-building management among the private and public arts sectors also continues to grow at a fast pace. The MA is a 36-credit program of study that provides a core curriculum in the fundamentals of arts management . Students complete a 23-credit core and then select courses from a cluster: entrepreneurship in the arts and management; finance and budgeting for the arts; marketing and public relations; or an arts-specific cluster. Students also take internal and external internships. The internal internship affords an in-depth opportunity to work with professionals in residence at Mason's Center for the Arts. The external internship provides the opportunity to work at more than 60 different visual and performing arts venues in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
