About the Program
The Entertainment & Arts Management (EAM) program at Drexel University is a nationally ranked, international leader in teaching the business of show business. Our unique program is a business degree, yet one that is based in the entertainment and arts sectors. Students in the Entertainment and Arts Management major choose an area of concentration from media, performing arts, or visual arts management disciplines. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to lead and manage in both commercial and non-profit areas of the field. Concentrations are available in: Cinema and Television, Performing Arts, Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, Digital Media, and Sports Entertainment. Coursework in the EAM program includes general education, core requirements and features a built-in business minor. Students also enjoy a wide-selection of specialized coursework within their chosen area of concentration.
Unlike other undergraduate programs in this field, students are not required to choose commercial or nonprofit. Our philosophy is to prepare students for leadership careers in the vast world or arts and entertainment. This gives EAM students increased flexibility when choosing their career paths, and a distinct professional advantage in today's ever-changing arts and entertainment industries.
Our Goal
Our overall goal in the EAM program is to prepare students for leadership careers in the entertainment and arts fields by giving them:
- a broad understand of the business of entertainment & the arts, from for-profit commercial entertainment companies to non-profit arts & culture organizations;
- real world work experience;
- creative skills development in the discipline that interests them, and
- expert advice and insight from practicing professionals.
BS/MS Option
Students who complete the Entertainment & Arts Management program may also choose to pursue a graduate degree in Drexel University's Westphal College in television management or arts administration and museum leadership. Students who graduate with a 3.5 GPA in the last two years of the program who apply to the MS in Arts Administration and Museum Leadership are automatically accepted into the MS program. Other graduate degrees within the college are available to students as well.
Dual Degree BS/MBA Option
Students majoring in Entertainment and Arts Management (4-year with co-op) may choose the BS Entertainment and Arts Management/MBA dual degree option. This highly attractive program option combines study in the management of the arts and entertainment industries along with the MBA degree. The program is designed to allow students to complete both the bachelor's degree and the MBA in five years.
Applying to the Dual Degree BS/MBA Option
Freshman applicants to the Entertainment & Arts Management program with a combined Math and Critical Reading SAT score of 1300 and a 3.5 GPA may apply for the BS/MBA program at the time of their initial application to Drexel University. Current students may choose to apply to the dual degree option once they have achieved between 90.0 and 120.0 credits. All students who are accepted into the accelerated program must maintain a 3.2 GPA as an EAM undergraduate, and must submit 2 letters of recommendation and meet minimum GMAT requirements at the time of the application to the MBA program.

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements
In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.
A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Program. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term.
