The Arts Administration program at Boston University was a key resource in my professional development as an arts administrator. I was able to pursue this degree while working full time in the arts and regularly found opportunities for practical application of the content I was learning in class. The network that I have gained from this program has become a vital element of my professional practice and the unique nature of this curriculum has given me the tools to continue to succeed and grow in the nonprofit arts field
