Arts Administration Minor
https://cola.unh.edu/theatre-dance/program/minor/arts-administration
The Arts Administration Minor is designed to develop the skillset necessary for work in the diverse field of arts management and arts entrepreneurship. You’ll gain experience in accounting, marketing, and business administration as well as other critical areas that help prepare students for careers in the nonprofit and for-profit arts sectors. The knowledge acquired in this minor is also designed to be applied to the development, funding, marketing and management of projects created by fine and performing artists.
The award-winning faculty in the UNH Departments of Theatre and Dance, Music and Art offer students an enormous spectrum of fine and performing arts opportunities and learning experiences to connect and enhance the study of Arts Administration. The Paul College of Business and Economics is one of the nation’s top ranked business schools with renowned faculty in the areas of marketing, management, finance and accounting. This unique minor is designed to bring exposure to the arts for non-fine and performing arts majors, and business-related skills for those in the arts.
