Practicum

Students adding a concentration to the MS in Arts and Cultural Management are required to demonstrate their competence through direct work experience in the sector or a practical project in collaboration with a cultural organization. This is achieved through the addition of MET AR 795 Arts and Cultural Management Practicum or MET AR 796 Advanced Management Consulting for Arts and Cultural Organizations to their curriculum.

The requirements of MET AR 795 can be satisfied through an internship with a cultural organization, or through the realization of a concrete project undertaken in collaboration with a cultural organization. Projects must be proposed and approved prior to enrolling in the practicum. Students are required to complete a total of 200 hours of work in either an internship or a project. This can be accomplished in a single term by taking the practicum as a 4-unit course, or over the course of two terms by taking the practicum as a 2-unit course in each term.
