Prestigious Cross-Cultural Fellowship Activates MET Graduate Degree in Arts Administration
As part of the Fulbright Nehru Master’s Fellowship, Priya Krishnamoorthy recently earned her Master of Science in Arts Administration at MET. The one-to-two year fellowship program aids Indian citizens possessing the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor’s degree and three years of professional work experience, providing them with funding for tuition and fees, a stipend, and health insurance. Visa support and round-trip airfare is also provided in the program, which is designed to promote cross-cultural relations between the United States and India.
Krishnamoorthy spoke with ProFellow.com, the by-fellows-for-aspiring-fellows professional and academic fellowship resource, to discuss her successes at MET and what motivated her towards the Arts Administration program. “I felt that I lacked the knowledge and insights that could help me put in place well-informed innovations in the field of arts management,” she explained. “I felt the need to contextualize and understand the gaps in the arts ecosystem that I was experiencing every day within the rigors of academia. I hoped that the opportunity would help me not only get a birds-eye view of the creative and cultural industries, but also gain access to tools that make effective arts management possible within any context,” she said.
