Arts Management-Interdisciplinary Minor/Clam Program
Note: Currently students are not being accepted into this program. For information, contact the Dean of the School of Arts and Performance at (585) 395-2358.
The Arts Management program provides students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in several aspects of arts management. This training enables students to manage their own artistic endeavors, seek entry-level positions in a variety of arts management jobs, or pursue graduate studies in arts administration. Students can major in Arts Management through a CLAM program which is devised individually for interested students according to the guidelines described in the Your Right to Know & Academic Policies and Procedures Handbook. At present, a minor in Arts Management is offered.
As a prerequisite to AMT 451 Internship in Arts Management, students are required to take at least one course in the area of their specialization (courses taken as part of a major, General Education, or electives may apply). AMT 210 Arts Organizations and Information Management and ARH 480 Studio and Gallery Studies fulfill the computer literacy component of the General Education requirement. Students also are strongly urged to take at least one studio course in each of the four arts: art, dance, music, and theatre.
