Student presenting her art work in UMF Art Gallery

The University of Maine at Farmington Arts Administration program combines studies in business with an emphasis in Music, Theatre, or an individualized option, preparing you for a career running their own small performing arts space, or writing grants for a large arts organization, and more.


At the heart of the Arts Administration program are the three Project courses. The gateway into the program is Project 1, a course where all arts majors work with faculty to pursue a topic, idea, or project, with each student making a unique contribution to the collective vision.

In Project 2, sophomores and juniors work together on a project connected to the community for public presentation, largely independent from faculty.

Project 3 is the capstone, where seniors culminate their time at UMF and also graduate with an experience / work that launches them into a career.

Save more than $5,500 per year in tuition. This University of Maine at Farmington program qualifies for the NEBHE Tuition Break.

Through the NEBHE Tuition Break program, students from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont receive a $5,670 tuition discount on all UMF degree programs.
