Studying at Boston University’s Arts Administration program offered me the opportunity to learn about practical knowledge and professional skills in the arts field. Its unique international study deepened my understandings of arts and society. As an international student, this program not only taught me how to manage arts organization in the states, but also made me think how to promote art at the global level.
