Data from The Global Arts MBA graduates indicates that Fellows typically dedicate 10–12 hours per week to their studies. The curriculum is intentionally designed with working arts professionals in mind, offering a structure that enhances – rather than disrupts – their ongoing professional commitments.

In fact, the Admissions Committee values full-time employment as a strength in an application, recognizing it as an opportunity for Fellows to directly apply program insights in real time, creating measurable value within their organizations and advancing their professional impact throughout the year.

This weekly commitment encompasses live seminars, collaborative team projects, and individual coursework. It does not, however, account for two key experiential components: an Industry Immersive, a flexible field assignment tailored to individual professional goals, and the Innovation Summit, an intensive, elective week-long experience with international faculty. Both components are designed to integrate seamlessly into a Fellow’s schedule, with options for remote or in-person participation and time requirements concentrated within specific, limited periods.
