Overview

Looking for a fast, practical way to step into the business side of the arts? The arts administration certificate offers a streamlined, one-year path into the world of arts management, where you learn how theaters, galleries and cultural organizations operate behind the scenes. You blend theater courses — such as stagecraft, acting and theater history — with business basics in accounting, marketing and management, giving you a practical foundation you can take directly into an entry-level role. Because many courses overlap with management and theater arts programs, you can also apply them toward additional credentials.
