“The Arts Administration program focuses on training students to become professional administrators in disciplines such as performing arts, which interests me greatly. It has also provided me an opportunity to be exposed to new areas such as fundraising, legal issues and financial management. The systematical and practical learning enhances my skills and elevates me to a higher level of understanding of art and its relation to people.”
