Indiana University has an Arts Administration Masters program. It is highly competitive, and admits at most 10-15 students each year. It is primarily a business degree. Museum studies is more general in that it prepares students for collections-based work, such as curatorial, exhibit, and collection/objects management. Museum studies does not prepare students to administrate things like municipal performance groups, etc., as does arts admin.
