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.
