Prospective Arts Administration Students
Arts Administration Program Overview
The Arts Administration Program at Southern Utah University provides a personalized, interdisciplinary education that develops well-rounded professionals employable in any arts discipline. We value experiential learning, collaboration, and advocacy. This engagement is essential for our collective future.
The online Master of Arts degree track includes specialized graduate coursework totaling 33 credit hours. Coursework in the MA Track is done entirely online and includes financial management, development, fundraising, marketing, legal issues, leadership, and board development. At the end of the program, students will complete a Capstone project which focuses on the practical aspects of the academic material studied. There are six entry points into this online program annually.
As this is an entirely online program, students are considered part of SUU's "Online Campus." Tuition in this Online Campus is one rate, no matter where in the world the student resides. This offers a significantly lower tuition than many universities around the country, as there is no hike in cost for out-of-state students. Tuition is charged based on the amount of credits taken (which can also allow students to budget in advance), and can be found on the Southern Utah University Cashier’s Office webpage.
Graduation Requirements
Graduate students are required to maintain a minimum of a 3.0 (“B”) cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Additionally, graduate students will not receive credit for a course where they achieved less than a 2.0 (“C”). The student may be given an opportunity to repeat the course once at their own expense, but the program cannot accommodate offering the course outside of the sequencing provided. If the student re-takes a course and receives less than a 2.0 (“C”) for a second time, the student will automatically be dismissed from the program.
If a student receives less than a Pass (“P”) in the Capstone, the student will not be granted the degree and will be dismissed from the program. The Capstone may not be repeated.
