ARTS AND CULTURAL MANAGEMENT MINOR
The Arts and Cultural Management minor prepares students for administrative and management roles in the creative and cultural sectors. If your major is in a fine arts discipline, you may find this minor particularly useful for understanding and working within the arts and culture sector. This minor is open to anyone in the BA or BA Honors programs in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta with an interest in the field.
