Arts Management
 The certificate in arts management from Hollins University gives students the opportunity to connect their major in one of the arts with career interests in various fields of arts management. In addition to course work in communications and business at Hollins, students will complete two internships in an area of arts management. The program concludes with a final project of the student’s creation, in support of her particular area of interest within the field. Because it is a certificate program, students will be able to complete the requirements for the program through prudent choices in their general education courses and electives, thereby not adding to their total credit hours for the bachelor of arts degree. For more information, see the chair of the department in which you plan to major.
