Arts Management is a dynamic and interdisciplinary program with an international perspective and a strong interest in energizing academic inquiry in the field. The Graduate Program is housed in the College of Arts and Sciences and is partnered by the UB Schools of Law and Management. The program aims to create effective arts managers and researchers who can draw from a thorough and critical understanding of the subject. The two-year program is designed to increase students’ ability to identify and solve complex, interdisciplinary problems and investigate tensions inherent in arts management and cultural policy making. The program serves a diverse and international student body. The University at Buffalo is a member of AAU and a Research 1 institution.
