Located in the heart of New York City, this is a leadership program for activists, educators and managers in the arts.  It is designed to be both partner and supporter of the city's museums, theaters, galleries and concert halls, and to prepare students for leadership in a range of public, private, and non-profit arts institutions. 

This 36 credit (1.5 to 2 years) MA program is jointly sponsored by the principal components of Baruch: the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences; the Zicklin School of Business; and the School of Public Affairs.  Our faculty members come from many fields, among them fine and performing arts, communication studies, public policy, accounting, management, and organization theory.  Students’ work will include:

  • A core curriculum focused on leadership and management in public, non-profit and commercial arts organizations.  Students will develop competence in finance, resource development, marketing, entertainment law, arts education and outreach, public policy, and advocacy, and they will meet with a wide range of artists, arts professionals, and civic leaders.
  • Electives that encourage students to deepen their knowledge in particular fields: among them, theatre; orchestra and museum management; artist representation; and arts education. 
  • Internships that offer significant responsibilities and engaged mentors.
  • A consultancy in the final semester with an arts organization, leading to a thesis or case study published online for use by future students and by practitioners in the field.
