Arts Management is designed for students interested in both the creative practice and the business of the arts. It provides students with a solid grounding in the knowledge and skills necessary for fulfilling professional careers in producing, presenting and exhibiting organizations (theatres, opera companies, orchestras, dance companies, galleries, museums), arts councils, arts service organizations, government, and also for graduate studies in disciplines such as Arts Management, Cultural and Public Policy, Arts Education, and Museum or Curatorial Studies.

Students can choose either the Specialist Program in Arts Management* or the Major Program in Arts and Media Management. Students should consult with their ACM Program Manager to ensure proper course/program planning.

*Note: the Specialist (Co-op) Program in Arts Management is suspended to new enrolments. Students already enrolled in the Program should consult the 2012-13 Calendar.
