Since 1974, the graduate Arts Management Program has trained students and mentored alumni/ae for careers in nonprofit performing and visual arts organizations both national and international. The goals of this program are to train students for success in a wide range of administrative, managerial, and leadership positions and to help them become effective advocates for the arts.
The curriculum is constructed around core competencies that emphasize
flexibility and interdisciplinarity. Arts organizations throughout
the metropolitan Washington region serve as laboratories for learning
and enable students to apply classroom concepts in professional
settings. Special attention is given to prepare students for ethical
decision-making, to understand the complexities of international
issues, and to promote dialogue on national arts policy.
