Hands-On Work Experience

Madison is a vital cultural center, with a large variety of arts and cultural organizations. Bolz Center students have been active participants in that cultural life for more than 30 years, working with a full spectrum of leading organizations.

Beyond the practical training these positions provide, project assistantships offer students an invaluable form of financial aid -- including a full waiver of tuition, health insurance and dental benefits, and a stipend to help cover the additional costs of their education.

Students may choose to participate in summer internships at organizations around the country. These have included work with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Walker Art Center, Lincoln Center, the National Cultural Alliance, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Wolf Trap Farm Foundation.

Recent internship placements for Wisconsin MBA Arts Administration students have included the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the American Dance Festival.
