Bachelor’s Degree in Arts Administration

The only degree of its kind currently being offered in Raleigh, our BA in Arts Administration is led by faculty with vast professional and academic experience.

As an Arts Administration major at WPU, you will develop the skills necessary to make a mark on the professional world. The Bachelor of Arts degree program features focused studies in marketing, accounting, management, administration, advertising, media, public relations and the arts. Through elective courses, you’ll be able to focus further on specific arts areas that interest you (theater, music or visual art). You will train under an impressive network of faculty and guests whose resumes include professional artistic credits, administrative and business positions as well as strong academic achievements. You will also benefit from “outside the classroom” experiences such as required internships, student-run organizations and study abroad opportunities (such as the university’s recent trips to England and Italy).
