The Master of Arts program in Performing Arts Administration was founded in 1971 and is one of the oldest and most respected arts administration programs in the country. The program educates prospective and practicing administrators for positions with performing arts organizations in this country and abroad. Internships with leading arts managers are a required part of the program and provide students with practical “real world” experience that complements their coursework. In recent years, interns have trained with managers of organizations as varied as Carnegie Hall, New York Theatre Workshop, the Metropolitan Opera, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, New York City Ballet, Broadway Asia, and The Nederlander Organization. Graduates hold positions as executive directors and presidents; directors of development, operations, planning, marketing, and production of New York Philharmonic, Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation, The Joyce Theater Foundation, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, National Theater Company of Korea, and Playwrights Horizons, to name a few. Spring Break Study Abroad in Performing Arts Administration takes degree and visiting students to London, United Kingdom. Drawing on the resources of New York University Global Campuses in New York and London, this course examines the nature of the creative and cultural industries and the development of cultural entrepreneurship, diplomacy, and tourism in the United States and the United Kingdom from the 1990s to the present. Participants will meet with experts working in museums, galleries, theatre venues, arts policy organizations, and more, and will have the opportunity to experience the British arts scene firsthand.
