Master of Arts Management (MAM) 

The Master of Arts Management (MAM) degree from Carnegie Mellon University provides advantages and opportunities that cannot be found in an undergraduate education, in an MBA program or even in on-the-job learning.

• You'll learn arts management more quickly; what you discover and experience in just two years of school could take six or more years to learn on the job.
• You will be able to begin on a professional career path at the level you want without first having an undergraduate arts management degree, especially if your undergraduate degree did not include any business or technical coursework.
• You'll understand not only the practical applications of arts management but also the theory. And, through internships, apprenticeships and the systems synthesis project, you'll have the opportunity to apply the skills and theory you've learned.
• Our curriculum teaches you vital management and technical tools and techniques for improving the efficiency and effectiveness in arts organizations. If these skills are not being practiced at your job, you'll need to acquire them here if you want to implement them.

You won't get the skills for your career in a business school, where the focus is on managing in the corporate world. You won't acquire the management skills in an arts school, where the focus is on the arts. You will develop these skills in a program that integrates both worlds -- Carnegie Mellon University's Master of Arts Management (MAM) program, a graduate degree offered by the Institute for the Management of Creative Enterprises (IMCE), a joint unit of the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management and the College of Fine Arts.
