Areas of Concentration: Arts Administration
These are some examples of programs of study that other MALS students have pursued in the past. They are meant to give you a sense of the kind of program that you might create with us. Each program of study includes courses taken as one-on-one independent studies with Skidmore faculty, traditional graduate-level courses taken in classrooms at universities across the country, as well as the required introductory seminar. Our students also earn credit through transfer of prior graduate credit, supervised internships, and assessment of prior experiential learning.
