PDF

The MFA in Production and Project Management will begin accepting applications during the 2017-18 academic year. The first cohort of students will begin on campus in the Fall of 2018.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The mission of the MFA in Production and Project Management (PPM) at UNCSA is to provide students with sound general business management and leadership training in production, people, and project management in order to develop inspired leaders who will work responsibly in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors to manage and lead a wide variety of art projects and creative business endeavors. The PPM program affords management students the opportunity to gain direct, on-campus access to the disciplines of theatre, dance, music and film in an academic and performance environment, that no other program or school can offer. Students may also work on in-class projects with creative companies such as Disney, Cirque du Soleil, Converse, Hasbro toys, and others, in order to learn how to apply the people, project and management skills within for-profit environments.
