Program overview

What Pace University says about their program:

There's no business like show business, and with a Lubin MS in Arts and Entertainment Management, you will gain the skills you need to succeed in the industry. We leverage our proximity to Broadway, major broadcast networks and film studios, not-for-profit arts and cultural organizations, and media companies to provide an inside look at the inner-workings of show business, and combine this proximity with a cutting-edge curriculum taught by accomplished faculty. The result? You’ll get further ahead in the career of your dreams.
