Art Major, BA - Arts Administration Concentration

The proposed interdisciplinary Art BA Concentration is designed to prepare students for careers on the business side of art galleries, museums, and creative entrepreneurship. Core classes will provide students with a broad introduction to traditional and new concepts, contemporary art practices, various art media and processes, and emerging technologies along with economics, finance, management, marketing, and advertising. In addition to requirements in both the School of Art and Haslam College, students will have electives in both units that will permit them to focus more intensively or specialize in particular areas of interest.
