Facebook Group for Class of 2009
Must request permission to join group.
The Arts Administration program reflects the conviction that the management of cultural institutions and arts organizations requires strategic planning, artistic creativity and social commitment. The arts managers capable of responding to the challenges and responsibilities of the arts must possess integrated management and financial skills, knowledge of the artistic process in which they are involved and sensitivity to the dynamics and educational needs of the communities they serve. The Program, which offers a Master of Arts degree, represents an alliance of four disciplines: arts, education, business and law. It is designed to help professionals meet the challenges of the next decade. These challenges include questions about the long-term health of arts organizations; their missions, governance and management; sources of income, and tax regulations. Such issues as freedom of expression, First Amendment rights, censorship and government intervention in the arts have important implications for international, educational, and cultural policy, and are integral to the Program. Today, arts administration training in the United States is a model in the field that addresses worldwide concerns.

Contemporary art has become increasingly interdisciplinary. To that end, the Division of Visual Arts keeps the walls between its disciplines low, offering an M.F.A. degree in Visual Arts, rather than in one specific medium. The two-year studio program taught by internationally celebrated artists allows students to pursue digital media, drawing, new genres, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video art. In addition to rigorous training within a specific discipline, we encourage our students to cross boundaries, both within our Division and outside of it, to take advantage of Columbia's renowned Writing, Theatre and Film programs. This unique cultural nexus is our signature, distinguishing us from other comparable programs.
