Through a series of four transdisciplinary core courses and four discipline-weighted, student-selected electives in the performing and visual arts, the M.S. in Creative Practice Leadership offers a two-semester, intensive, Masters-level program of training in and exploration of new approaches to leadership in the fields of critical creative practice, cultural entrepreneurship and innovation in the arts and entertainment industries. Grounded in a broadly interdisciplinary approach, the goal is to enable administrators and practitioners in the creative professions to become transformational leaders and change agents for a rapidly evolving cultural environment.

The M.S. in Creative Practice Leadership engages administration, curation, advocacy and other forms of cultural communication and intermediation from the point of view that creative practice leadership must become more than an outwardly successful business or administrative exercise; such leadership must re-examine past assumptions about and envision new parameters for how success is defined. The ethos underlying the design of courses in this program is that leadership in the arts and creative industries brings a responsibility to the progress, vitality and sustainability of the world that those creative enterprises seek to embrace, a responsibility that requires critical thinking and deeply thoughtful exploration, along with the skills necessary for implementation.
