Academics

There's a growing demand for graduates who can manage and coordinate the arts, bridging the worlds of performing and visual arts with applied managerial skills.

Degrees in Arts Management

The Arts Management learner is someone who is passionate about sharing the value of the arts with diverse communities across the country and around the world. They are not afraid of budgets, marketing plans, fundraising and/or advocating for accessibility and equity in the field. 

George Mason University's Arts Management program is distinctive in its orientation toward working professionals, its emphasis on hands-on experiential learning, and its flexible course of study for part- and full-time students. 

Arts Management classes for the Master's (MA) and Minor are online and meet synchronously (live).
