Colorado State University recently launched an online Master of Arts Leadership and Administration to provide professionals in all arts disciplines with the knowledge and acumen they need to serve as visionary leaders in their field.

Built upon the understanding that individuals in the arts seek deep meaning through their work, the degree emphasizes engaging communities through creative partnerships to help students learn how to maximize their work’s reach and impact with audiences.

Fostering the entrepreneurial spirit

The new online degree is designed to help students take their creative talents further – building the skills they need to operate their own businesses or take on leadership roles and create meaningful change in the organizations in which they work.

Course content focuses on entrepreneurial subjects such as leadership, finance management, media communication, arts policy, project planning and evaluation, community engagement, events management, and more.

Career opportunities

The Master of Arts Leadership and Administration focuses not only on what industry professionals need to know today, but what those wishing to be successful in the field will need in the future as well.

The demand for creative people with entrepreneurial and administrative skills is on the rise. Organizations in a wide array of fields are looking for leaders who can think differently, integrate knowledge across disciplines, spot and solve problems, and generate new ideas.

CSU’s Master of Arts Leadership and Administration program is designed to enhance the skills that employers are seeking: innovative thinking, leadership, adaptability, collaboration and passion – translating into a wide variety of career paths in the creative and non-profit sectors and beyond.
