St. Thomas University, in collaboration with the International Center for Art Economics (Icare) at the University of Venice, Italy launches a MA Degree and Graduate Certificate Program in Communication Arts with a specialization in Art Management beginning January 11th, 2008.
"This unique program combines the Art Management and Communications training to address the need for "seasoned" professionals in South Florida's growing art industry"; states Dr. Ruiz, Dean of the School of Leadership Studies at the University. Those working in the Art related fields or professionals who want to enter the industry will greatly benefit from this program. The Art Management specialization courses addressing finance, fundraising, economics, marketing and legalities will be taught by the University of Venice Professors in Miami while the core graduate courses in Communications will be taught by St. Thomas University faculty.
Ruiz continues “This degree combines two important areas of study, Art Management and Communication, making the graduates that much more marketable and with the potential for being leaders in the industry.” Communication courses include Multicultural Communication, Managing Creative Processes in Visual Imaging, Mass Communication Theory, Research Methods, and Media Ethics. Students pursuing the Masters Degree will have the option to develop an experientially-based thesis.
The application process is streamlined and there is open enrollment. Courses are convenient with weekend accelerated terms of 4 weeks. Certificates can be completed in 20 weeks, and coursework for the masters can be completed in approximately 20 months.
