We are located in Room 35 of the Alumni Development Center on the East campus at the corner of Leon C. Simon and Franklin next to the UNO Lakefront Arena. The Graduate Program in Arts Administration was established at the University of New Orleans in 1982. The Program prepares students for management careers in galleries, performing arts organizations, community arts centers, and museums.
Graduates work in arts organizations across the country and abroad.
Students must complete a 480-hour internship with an arts organization in the last semester of study. The internship experience is an integral component of the Program, combining academic theory with practical experience. The Arts Administration faculty is drawn from members of the permanent Graduate Faculty of the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Business Administration . The Program also boasts adjunct faculty with national and international reputations. Currently, the Arts Administration Program has about 40 students enrolled from all over the United States as well as from Austir, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Turkey.
