| Combined
BA/MA program in Arts Management |
| |
|
The
combined BA/MA degree is designed for undergraduate students pursuing
a bachelor’s degree at American University. The undergraduate
degree can be in any field. Application to the combined BA/MA
must be made by February of the student’s junior year, minimum
requirements are a 3.0 GPA and, 9 credits of advanced (300 level
or higher) coursework in one or more of the arts disciplines (must
be completed by the end of the junior year).
An overlap of undergraduate with
master’s coursework allows the student to complete both
degrees within five and a half years. The program is designed
to work with each student’s goals, so the overlap is determined
in consultation with your arts management advisor. Once accepted
into the program, each student meets with the Director of Arts
Management to begin planning her/his coursework.
