MAM - GIOCA with the University of Bologna, Italy

Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College offers a double-degree masters program in Arts Management with the University of Bologna, Italy. This partnership is the only initiative of its kind focusing on global cultural management. The program combines the strengths of Carnegie Mellon's rigorous approach, focused on applied management theory and skills, with the University of Bologna's interdisciplinary approach that allows students to understand global operational issues as they relate to the artistic dimensions of cultural institutions.

Over 28 to 30 months, equaling six academic terms, students will earn both a Masters in Arts Management (MAM) from Carnegie Mellon and a graduate degree in Innovation and Organization of Culture and the Arts (GIOCA) from the University of Bologna’s School of Economics.
