2023-2024 Undergraduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Arts Leadership, BA (1001)
|
|
A truly interdisciplinary degree, the BA in Arts Leadership combines the expertise in the departments of Arts & Languages and Media & Strategic Communication, and the LaPenta School of Business. Students select a concentration in dance, music, theatre or visual arts, joining our active performance ensembles but at the same time learning how to apply communication and business skills to the production of the arts. An integral part of the program is the Internship senior year, followed by a capstone project that can serve as an entry to the working world. As the arts are inherently entrepreneurial, students will be involved with the opportunities and activities at the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
