Drexel University's Bachelor of Science in Entertainment & Arts Management offers a dynamic educational experience focused on the rapidly expanding creative sector, one of the most significant economic drivers both nationally and globally. The explosive expansion of media and arts has generated demand for skilled professionals who blend business acumen with deep appreciation for artistic and entertainment fields.
The Entertainment & Arts Management (EAM) program at Drexel equips students to navigate the creative industries through a tailored academic approach, allowing specialization in arts or media disciplines, combined with a top-ranked cooperative education (co-op) program.
EAM students select from concentrations including media management, performing arts management, or visual arts management. Unlike similar undergraduate entertainment business programs, Drexel doesn't restrict students to either nonprofit or commercial tracks. This flexibility provides graduates with broader career options and a competitive edge in the evolving arts and entertainment landscape.
All EAM students participate in Drexel's renowned Co-op program, gaining up to half a year of professional experience before completing their degree. Research indicates that co-op participants achieve better starting compensation and workplace evaluations. Students also benefit from Philadelphia's vibrant cultural scene, home to prestigious museums, performance venues, musical institutions, and film events. Through co-op placements, coursework, and guidance from faculty who are industry leaders, EAM students build valuable connections within Philadelphia's creative community.
