University of Akron

The University of Akron Arts Administration master's program is designed to prepare students for successful careers in all disciplines of the non-profit arts.The strength of the program lies in a commitment to balancing theoretical study in the classroom with an application through practical experiences and internships. We welcome students from a variety of artistic, educational, and professional backgrounds. The M.A. in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Arts Administration is awarded after the successful completion of a minimum of 36 credit hours of graduate coursework including the completion of a professional internship experience, and the acceptance of a written thesis or project. The curriculum provides students with a philosophical base for decision-making and planning, as well as a comprehensive range of techniques for working effectively in the field. Although core courses are offered by Arts Administration faculty, an essential part of the Arts Administration master's program is the selection of courses in management, marketing and finance.
