Arts Management

ACM Program Manager: [email protected]

While a majority of the academic work in the program is based on the not-for-profit arts model, the skills that UTSC's arts management students develop are transferable skills: critical thinking, organizational development, marketing, fundraising, public relations and public policy can be applied to many fields, and graduates may eventually opt to work in for-profit cultural industries such as commercial music, film and television, or even non-arts sectors that require similar abilities. For further information, please visit the Arts Management website.

The Standard Stream of the program is designed to give students a broad and deep understanding of Arts Management at the undergraduate level through academic courses but without full-field placements. This stream is well suited to students who have past or alternate practical experience in arts management.

The Field Placement Stream of the program is designed to enhance the students' understanding of Arts Management through substantial exposure to its practice in a minimum of two 300-hour not-for-credit placements.

Enrolment Requirements
Enrolment in the program is limited and entry is competitive. Admissions are granted on the basis of applicants' academic performance, background in one or more of the arts, and demonstrated interest and potential ability in Arts Management as discerned through an interview. For the Standard Stream, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, both overall and in Arts Management-specific courses. For the Field Placement Stream, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, both overall and in Arts Management-specific courses.
