Internships in Arts Administration: Real-world experience makes up a critical component of the Arts Administration program. Each semester, students are required to work with a local arts organization in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Additionally, as the final component (semester 6) of the program, each student completes a 12-week internship/project at an arts organization in his/her area of specialization. Thus, the final academic semester is spent in an intensive, real-world experience.
