Overview

Our unique program is a business degree, yet one that is based in the entertainment and arts sectors. Students in the Entertainment and Arts Management major choose an area of concentration from media, performing arts, or visual arts management disciplines.

The curriculum is designed to prepare students to lead and manage in both commercial and non-profit areas of the field. Concentrations are available in: Cinema and Television, Performing Arts, Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, Digital Media, and Sports Entertainment. Coursework in the EAM program includes general education, core requirements and features a built-in business minor. Students also enjoy a wide-selection of specialized coursework within their chosen area of concentration.

Unlike other undergraduate programs in this field, students are not required to choose commercial or nonprofit. Our philosophy is to prepare students for leadership careers in the vast world or arts and entertainment. This gives EAM students increased flexibility when choosing their career paths, and a distinct professional advantage in today's ever-changing arts and entertainment industries.
