Arts Entrepreneurship Graduate Certificate


Banner Code: AR-CERG-AENT

The 15-credit Graduate Certificate in Arts Entrepreneurship is for early to mid-career professionals working at least tangentially in an arts-related profit or nonprofit business. Participants will augment their existing knowledge by examining innovative case studies, studying advanced practices and processes, and executing business models. Certificate courses will address areas of idea generation, market analysis and testing, arts business and revenue modeling, public relations and marketing strategies, budgeting and finance, public policy, and government relations. Learning together in a cohort-modeled certificate program, students will develop strong interpersonal skills, public communication strategies, and team-based problem-solving strategies.

Admission Requirements

For admission into the arts entrepreneurship certificate, prospective students must show graduation from a bachelor’s program (or equivalent) and related work experience. Students apply through Mason’s Office of Admissions, and applications will be approved by a committee established by the Arts Management Program. Courses taken in pursuit of the certificate are eligible to be applied toward the master of arts in arts management, if these courses meet approval.
