Graduate Program

Master of Arts in Arts Administration Class of 2011

The Master of Arts in Arts Administration can be completed in 16 months, with three semesters of course work and an internship.

All students begin course work in the fall semester, and this is followed by spring semester, a 7-week summer internship, and a final fall semester of courses. Some students might opt for completing their internship in the spring following the final semester of courses. Each semester of course work includes required courses plus an elective, which can be selected from the offerings of arts administration and other SPEA faculty, or from across the campus according to the student's interests and goals.

There are also opportunities to pursue a Minor in Arts Administration. Master’s students in the Jacobs School of Music can choose Arts Administration as an Outside Area (which entails choosing six credit hours in Arts Administration in consultation with the Program Director), and IU students in doctoral programs can obtain a Doctoral Minor in Arts Administration (which entails twelve credit hours in Arts Administration and SPEA courses). See Opportunities for Non-Majors for details.
