There are lot of private gallery/shop, I assume this degree fall under business administration with arts area?
"The arts" encompasses a wide range of activities. It could be the Louvre, the Metropolitan Opera, the Joffrey Ballet, the Boston Pops . . . you know, The ARTS"
I don't know how "art administration" is a scholarly subject. But okay, I guess. From their website: "....created to prepare students for careers that envision, conduct and disseminate meaningful research in the arts and cultural sector. " I would want to know what central or unifying theory of "arts administration" is and what theories contribute to it. I would, but I don't.
