Arts Administration Certificate

Combining artistic ability and organizational leadership within a framework of stewardship, intercultural sensitivity, and arts advocacy, the arts administration certificate equips students to lead both non-profit and for-profit arts organizations in a variety of capacities.

Program Overview

Under the direction of faculty in the departments of art, music, and theatre, each student is partnered with two different area arts organizations and prepared to serve in an even larger number of contexts. Chattanooga houses a symphony, art museum, large community theatre, multiple granting/philanthropy organizations, which are more than capable of preparing students for artistic administration. 

Aside from numerous graduate programs in the field, a certificate in arts administration can translate directly into job opportunities. A Covenant education, with its emphasis on interdisciplinary study, lends itself to the arts administration certificate, helping graduates think critically and creatively when solving the challenges facing arts organizations. They will gain applicable skills and real-world experience that will translate into job opportunities across the world. 

quotation mark
Artists cannot do their work without the support of others; in my experience, I would not have made much of my work without the advocacy of people and the generosity of organizations who believed deeply about my art and my artistic voice. It mattered to them. Many of my peers would say the same thing.
Jeff Morton

Professor of Art
