“Graduating from the Boston University Arts Administration program was the launching point for me in so many ways - not only for my professional success, but also for my personal fulfillment. It provided a solid background in nonprofit/arts management that not only prepared me for work in the arts, but also for my work in educational institutions. Without classes like Raising Funds for Nonprofit Organizations, Financial Management for Nonprofits, and Managing Visual Arts Organizations, I would not have been able to synthesize both my career in fundraising and my passion for the arts. To do what you love is one of the most amazing experiences you can have in life, and I feel that I would not have been able to reach my current position without my graduate degree from the Arts Administration program.”

“My degree in arts administration gave me the skills needed to become a leader in the arts field. The program provided access to internship opportunities that proved invaluable. As a result of my course work and internship at the Wang Center for the Performing Arts, I was able to make the transition into the position of Manager of Education and Community Programs at Boston Lyric Opera a year before completing my degree. My subsequent professional success at the Boston Lyric Opera is also attributable to the education I received at Boston University.”

“As the Executive Director of the Cambridge Arts Council, I frequently rely on the valuable information, experiences, and relationships that I gained as a student in the Arts Administration program at Boston University. Instructors combine real-life experiences, best practices, and theory to provide a high quality classroom experience that effectively prepares students for positions in the industry. I credit the program's Director with creating an innovative and stimulating curriculum that reflects what aspiring arts administrators need to know to be successful.”
