The Graduate Program in Arts Administration at the University of New Orleans, begun in 1982, prepares students for administrative careers within arts organizations, among them, galleries, museums, opera organizations, theaters, dance companies, music production, auction houses, film societies, festivals, municipal art programs, art education programs and community art centers. The curriculum offers elective courses in nonprofit organizations, business and the arts, plus required specialized arts administration courses. The program then culminates in a 480-hour internship giving students practical experience in the field.
