We educate cultural sector leaders and participants
to make a difference in communities.
The Arts and Administration Program at the University of Oregon informs cultural sector administration, policy, and education. We prepare and inspire leaders based on the belief that professional arts managers must be familiar with the social, cultural, economic, environmental, political, technical and ethical contexts in which the arts flourish.
