The Co-operative Program in Arts Management is designed for students with an interest both in the arts and in business or management, and normally requires four to five years to complete. It combines academic study in a wide variety of subjects with practical work experience, preparing students for permanent employment as arts managers, or for further studies in Arts Administration, Business Administration, Museum Studies, Drama, Music, Art History or Studio. For further information, see http://citd.utsc.utoronto.ca/artsmgt/
For information on admissions, fees, work placements and standing in the Program, please see the Calendar section Co-operative Programs: General Information, page 71.
