The Bachelor of Science degree in Art Management prepares students for careers in museums, galleries, and arts organizations. The course of study includes classes in art history, studio art, business, and cross-disciplinary areas throughout the university. An added feature of the program includes in-depth course work at the Catherine J. Smith Gallery and Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. An internship outside of the university is required and provides students with real world experience.  

The diversity of the Art Management program allows the student to select an area of concentration which best defines his/her career goals. For example, for those students interested in gallery/museum work, a thorough study of art history and criticism is recommended. Marketing or management areas of study are also recommended for business related professional work.

The broad spectrum of this program can provide students with a wide variety of entry level opportunities in management. Graduates may choose to work in museums, craft outlets, galleries, or in nonprofit art agencies. Management positions exist in the above fields and in government programs at the federal, state, and local levels. Teaching in parks and recreation facilities, senior citizen centers, and museum education programs is also available with the proper planning of an individual’s concentration.
