Mandy - University of Wisconsin developed the first arts management program within a business school and probably is the best. UCLA also has an arts management concentration within its business school. It is not necessary, though, to go to a b-school that has a concentration in arts management. The schools that offer a public/non-profit major will cover all the skills you need to work in the financial end of operations. Unfortunately, the stature of the business school does bear on hiring decisions. I have an MBA from Northwestern with a major in public/non-profit management and the name does get me in the door as well as my "sterling" job experience. However, since most non-profits don't have MBA's on staff, they are not as smitten with the name as the private sector and, indeed, do not know the reputations of most b-schools. John Engman
