Enroll Now in MCC’s Arts Administration Certificate

There is still time to enroll in Middlesex Community College’s Arts Administration Certificate Program. Registration is now open and spring-semester courses begin Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019.

This 18-credit certificate gives students an introduction to the management and leadership skills needed to successfully work in the nonprofit arts sector (dance, theater, music and visual arts organizations). Students will be prepared to transfer to a college or university, or to work in arts organizations.

“Arts administration is an exciting, evolving and rewarding field of study,” said Peter Waldron, Manager of MCC’s Academic Arts Center. “Arts administrators are the people who create opportunities for performances, exhibitions, workshops and concerts to happen.

“This certificate combines art-, music- and theater-appreciation classes, with courses in entrepreneurship and business administration,” explained Waldron. Many Arts Administration courses will be available in the Academic Arts Center, MCC’s new state-of-the-art performing-arts facility on the Lowell campus, he added.

The Massachusetts region includes a significant number of performance venues and nonprofit art organizations. This certificate also would provide a good introduction to management in the arts that might be of interest to those pursuing careers in business or nonprofit management.
