Visual Arts Management
Visual Arts Management offers opportunities in a broad-ranging field that explores 21st century issues and innovation in traditional museums, commercial galleries, and alternative visual arts settings.
The AEMM curriculum is divided into three levels. Students may take Level I, Level II and Level III courses concurrently, provided prerequisite requirements are met.
Please view the core requirements courses for all AEMM majors.
Level III - Visual Arts Management
Unless otherwise advised by a faculty advisor, students should select from among the courses in a single arts genre in Visual Arts Management. The order of the course listing does not infer priority or sequencing; students should consult with an advisor to select the courses that best fit their needs.
