Arts Administration B.A.UMD Art and Design, Dept of
College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
The Bachelor of Arts in Arts Administration provides preparation for students seeking careers in the administration and management of arts programs, organizations, foundations, and arts-related industries and companies. Arts administrators are responsible for facilitating the day-to-day operations of an organization as well as implementing goals and strategies that fulfill a specific mission or underlying philosophy. Arts organizations include non-profits such as dance companies, theatres, museums, symphony orchestras, cultural centers, and arts training schools; all ranging in size and geographic region. Related for-profit industries include art galleries, touring companies, and performance venues. Duties of an arts administrator may include staff management, marketing oversight, budget management, public relations and cross-sector collaboration, fundraising and grant writing, program development and assessment, board development and arts advocacy. Coursework combines business management, marketing, and administration both in business and the arts with experiences in arts practice. Additional coursework in the academic departments of the College of Liberal Arts prepares students for the specific field of leadership in organizations for the arts.
