Arts Management Co-Major

For information, contact Todd Stuart, Director of Arts Management, 129 Center for Performing Arts, 513-529-2371. 

Given the challenges for artists, arts, and cultural organizations to survive in an increasingly competitive business environment, the need for educated arts managers is increasing. The practice of arts management is a synthesis of art, creativity, innovation, management, and entrepreneurship. The co-major will prepare students to balance aesthetic understanding with specialized skills in generating income, managing boards, stimulating public access, and sustaining the mission and vision of organizations whose primary purpose is the delivery, presentation, and preservation of arts and culture. These skills are applicable to arts councils, museums, community art centers, galleries, orchestras, theatres, and other creative enterprises.

A minimum overall 2.00 GPA is required for the co-major. All courses except the internship must be taken for a grade (not credit/no-credit). A high school diploma is required for admission to the co-major. Students may not pursue both the major in Arts Management & Arts Entrepreneurship and the co-major in Arts Management.
