Minor in Arts Entrepreneurship

Why Arts Entrepreneurship?

We begin by encouraging you to take a long hard look at your career goals and the jobs landscape you are entering.

We talk at length about, exploring, discovering, and applying for opportunities. We provide guidance for resume structure, portfolio development, and brand building. We help in determining what skills you need while giving focus to creativity as a skillset that can prepare you for a variety of jobs both in and outside of the creative economy.

Arts Entrepreneurship will help you acquire the diverse skills needed to put your creative expertise to work. We are proud to prepare students for a career in the Arts!
