We are committed to helping arts organizations achieve and sustain their missions in a changing world. We hold a deep conviction that the arts are a critical element in a healthy society, and that the role of arts managers is to nurture environments in which artistic excellence can thrive.<\/p>\n<p>The socioeconomic and political challenges of the day bring renewed importance to the work of cultural entrepreneurs, artists, producers, curators, policy-makers, and arts managers. Effective arts administrators embrace the challenge of re-thinking and re-shaping the role that the arts play in contemporary society. Our master\u2019s degree and graduate certificates prepare our students to play leadership roles in the global arts of the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 40px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/met\/admissions\/apply-now-graduate\/\" class=\"button secondary\" style=\"padding: 15px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apply Now<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/met.bu.edu\/inquiryaa\" class=\"button secondary\" style=\"padding: 15px;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Request Information<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/artsadmin\/files\/2023\/10\/arts-admin-brochure-spring-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button secondary\" style=\"padding: 15px;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View Arts Administration Brochure<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"programs\"><\/p>\n<h2>Degree &amp; Certificate Programs<\/h2>\n<p><!--[bu_list_child_pages parent=\"113\"]--><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n   \/* container *\/\n   .fix-three-column-grid {\n   display:block;\n   }\n   \/* columns *\/\n   .fix-three-column-grid > * {\n   padding:1rem;\n   }\n   \/* tablet breakpoint *\/\n   @media (min-width:992px) {\n   .fix-three-column-grid {\n   display: grid;\n   grid-auto-rows: 1fr;\n   grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;\n   }   \n   }\n   \/*.fix-three-column-grid div:nth-child(2n + 1) {\n   background-color: red;\n   }*\/\n   .gridmate {\n   }\n   .img-plus-desc {\n   background: #b3c5d6;\n   margin: 0;\n   height: 100px;\n   }\n   .img-plus-desc h3 a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active {\n   text-decoration: none;\n   color: white;\n   }\n   #remove-line {\n   \ttext-decoration: none !important;\n   }\n   .fix-three-column-grid .gridmate h3 {\n   \/*    background: #b3c5d6;*\/\n   font-family: \"Brandon-Text\", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\n   font-size: 1em;\n   font-weight: 700;\n   height: 100px;\n   padding: 1em .5em;\n   vertical-align: middle;\n   display: table-cell;\n   padding: 0 .5em;\n   }\n   .fix-three-column-grid .gridmate img {\n   float: left;\n   margin: 0 .5em 0 0;\n   }\n   .fix-three-column-grid .gridmate  p {\n   border-top: 5px solid #a6bccf;\n   clear: left;\n   color: #f2f5f8;\n   padding: .75em 0 0;\n   margin: 1.25em 0 0;\n   }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"fix-three-column-grid\">\n<div class=\"gridmate\">\n<div class=\"img-plus-desc\">\n         <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/files\/2015\/11\/Arts-Administration-Graduate-Degree_1920px-595px-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thumb\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/academic-programs\/arts-administration-degree\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">MS in Arts Administration<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>BU&#8217;s MS in Arts Administration degree program is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in visual arts, performing arts, and arts service organizations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gridmate\">\n<div class=\"img-plus-desc\">\n         <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/files\/2015\/11\/Arts-Administration-Certificate_1920px-595px1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"thumb\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/academic-programs\/arts-administration-certificate\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Arts Management Graduate Certificate<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The four-course Graduate Certificate in Arts Management serves the many practicing and aspiring arts professionals who do not have the time or resources to commit to a full program of graduate study, or who may already possess a graduate degree in another field.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"gridmate\">\n<div class=\"img-plus-desc\">\n         <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/files\/2019\/08\/performing-arts-enterprise-advanced-grad-cert-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Commercial Theater Development Graduate Certificate\" class=\"thumb\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/artsadmin\/academic-programs\/commercial-theater-development-advanced-graduate-certificate\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Commercial Theater Development Graduate Certificate<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Offered in partnership with Nederlander Worldwide Entertainment, a leader in global performing arts production and management, the Graduate Certificate in Commercial Theater Development provides intensive training in the production cycle of commercial performing arts, with a focus on the Broadway industry.
