Degree Earned
Bachelor of Arts: Interdisciplinary Studies, concentration in arts administration and focus in art/art history

The Arts Administration in Art/Art History program produces graduates who are able to blend an understanding of and experience in the arts with strong expertise and skills in business. This invaluable combination addresses the growing demand for arts leaders with a wider disciplinary perspective than solely art or business. The capstone experience for students is an eight-credit internship with an established arts organization in Maine. Graduates have a wide range of career possibilities such as serving as director of an art gallery, working as an administrator in a large museum, or starting their own arts program.
