Curriculum

The MFA in Arts Leadership is a 2-year, 54-credit program that includes a required Graduate Management Practicum. The 9-credit practicum (1 credit each quarter during the program) is an internship where students work in local arts organizations applying their learning to real world situations.Through this internship, students build on their classroom learning, gain valuable practical experience, and develop lifelong relationships with the arts community.

The MFA culminates in the Summary Project, a synthesis of academic study in a particular area of focus with the work produced during the community practicum experience.
