The
mission of the Florida State University program in Arts
Administration (conferred by both the School of Music
and the Department of Art Education) is to provide an
education in arts management and leadership. It is based
on a strong foundation in the arts and in the context
of increasing social, technological, and economic change.
The program stresses the premise that art, education,
and administration combined make a significant contribution
to the total human endeavor.
Purpose
The Master of Arts in Arts Administration is
offered to candidates in preparation for roles as leaders
in designing, implementing, and managing arts activities.
The program is designed for students who seek administrative
or management positions with such organizations as arts
centers, symphony orchestras, opera companies, choruses,
museums, government and private arts agencies, community
arts programs, and arts councils.
