Academic disciplines often intersect with one another as they explore common topics and issues. Interdisciplinary programs highlight methodologies and underlying assumptions as they pose complex questions and challenges to students and faculty. Meredith offers interdisciplinary minors in Arts Administration. Approved courses in general education and major fields may be used to earn these minors.
Arts Administration Minor
The Arts Administration minor prepares students to seek leadership roles in community arts organizations. Women who pursue this career will manage budgets, write grants, plan programming and publicly advocate for the importance of having a strong, broad-based arts presence in the community. The minor combines an arts core which includes history, theory and applied experiences with business and communication courses. Every Arts Administration student will complete two internships. A student who pursues this minor as a career interest should have a familiarity with visual and performing arts, a commitment to civic engagement, a desire to work effectively as a team member, and good written and verbal communication skills. The program is designed to develop these necessary leadership qualities. Requirements appear in the Degree and Certificates.
