ARTS ADMINISTRATION AT UCONN
The Arts Administration program was established in 2013 by the Dramatic Arts Department within School of Fine Arts. The goal was to establish practiced-based training for non-profit arts managers that will produce the next generation of leaders. By incorporating the expertise of many schools and departments across the University and filtering them through an arts focused lens, the program will deliver excellent training for the students. The program’s first endeavor will be the graduate online certificate, followed by the establishment of an in-residence MFA in 2015.

THE CERTIFICATE
The graduate certificate is intended to fill a need for administrative training for early career arts administration professionals and community leaders serving as arts trustees. The certificate can be completed within one academic year and is only offered online, enabling students to remain in the workforce while completing the certificate and not requiring relocation.
