Careers
MAM graduates are employed in a variety of decision-making, working in every functional area found in arts and cultural organizations and related agencies that shape and influence the arts community.
Salary levels in arts organizations are typically lower than those in the private sector, especially at the entry level. The value of pursuing a MAM degree as opposed to working your way up through the ranks is that you'll take on more responsible work more quickly and advance more rapidly than without the degree.
Our graduates are often promoted within one to two years of starting their first job. This allows you to achieve the management level position you desire in a shorter time than would otherwise be the case.
