Overview

The mission of the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy is to critically engage cultural meaning that fosters social change and advances the public interest through the arts and visual culture through excellence in:

Research
Policy
Teaching
Leadership

Our programs promote understanding of the arts and visual culture for all students through a curriculum that is research-based, interdisciplinary and intent on collaboration with communities both within and outside the University, state, nation, and world.

We emphasize understanding of arts and culture, especially visual culture, in a global, culturally diverse and technological society. This content is explored through the following:

Pedagogical theory and practices
Critical inquiry of historical and contemporary artworks
Analysis of public and educational policy in the arts and cultures
Inquiry in the philosophical, historical, and policy foundations of art education, arts management, and cultural policy administration

The Arts Policy and Administration program from The Ohio State University can be completed in two academic years, with students completing 49 hours of coursework between both departments. Students study public policy and the arts, arts management, and arts education policy and program management. AAEP and the Glenn College work together to provide a comprehensive and balanced curriculum that examines intersections of public policy, arts and culture.

Career prospects

One of the first programs in the country to dedicate itself to serious research and advanced training in arts policy and administration, students have the opportunity to undertake internships in Columbus with a wide range of arts organizations, including the Columbus Museum of Art, Opera Columbus, the Ohio Arts Council, BalletMet and Ohio State’s own Wexner Center for the Arts.
