The arts and cultural field is changing rapidly. Be part of leading those changes with a master's degree in arts administration. Our program is practical and professional, and you will receive personal attention from our faculty of national arts leaders.
Passion has always been a driving force in the arts and it still is, but passion needs
help. There are audiences to be developed, budgets to be balanced, funds to be raised,
and staff to be hired.
The MA in Arts Administration at Goucher is focused on providing students with the tools they need to ensure that audiences are engaged, grants are funded, organizations are marketed, copyright regulations are followed, and nonprofits are in compliance with all regulations.
In this program you will learn from national arts leaders, develop a strong, national network, be inspired by a community of mentors and peers and enhance your career.
This program is designed for those who want to learn while also working full time. Our signature low-residency model features online coursework throughout the year with an annual residency on campus for 9 days in July.
