MAAA elective options let you tailor your curriculum to your goals
As part of the Master of Arts in Arts Administration (MAAA) program, you will complete nine hours of elective credits. Elective courses must be graduate level (500+) and can be taken through any academic program on campus. Elective course offerings vary each semester, so be sure to view the current schedule of classes at the Office of the Registrar.
You’ll enroll in elective courses across the Indiana University campus. From curating to human resources, stage management to graphic design, IU offers students a variety of elective course options. Many Arts Administration students take electives in Arts Administration, at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the School of Fine Arts, the Jacobs School of Music, and the Media School.
