- Graduate Certificate in Arts and Cultural Management (ARCM)
- The Graduate Certificate in Arts and Cultural Management offers students the knowledge and experiences that are necessary to launch a career in the arts and cultural sector. Our certificate is a one-year program with five courses that examine the operations and activities of performing arts centers, festivals, theatres, galleries, museums, and other arts and cultural institutions in Charleston and throughout the country.
- The certificate can be completed on its own in one year, or students may also complete the certificate as degree-seeking students in the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (MFA) programs.

- The Master of Arts in Community Planning, Policy, and Design (CPAD) degree program addresses the many dimensions of community building. Its innovative curriculum is designed to empower graduates to develop “progressive traditional” urban design skills while gaining knowledge of public policy, real estate economics, and practical transportation/land-use planning. The focus of the program is on the growing intersection of these skills and knowledge in today’s vibrant and increasingly complex development environment.

That means that there are more jobs available in arts teaching than there are certified arts teachers. Each year the MAT in the Performing Arts Program graduates certified Music and Theatre K12 teachers who have found jobs immediately upon graduation both here and across the country including Boston and LA!
