A dual degree in Arts Management (MAAM) and the Drucker MBA prepares graduates for careers in the creative industries—including arts, entertainment, and other asset-driven sectors of the visual art world—while teaching them to navigate the complexities of the business world.
Our combination degree track prepares you to manage projects, to think critically and creatively, and to work with diverse and innovative people within the dynamic and innovative local arts community and the vibrant creative hub that is Los Angeles. You’ll work alongside faculty and the Office of Career Development to discover a host of career opportunities in the arts or in a particular functional business area within an organization.
