Abstract
This paper will look at the perception of the value of the Master of Science in Arts Administration degree from alumni of the Drexel University program. In particular, this thesis will explore the key areas of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Overall, the thesis concludes that there is general satisfaction amongst alumni with the education that they have received and the applicability of the knowledge gained to various career paths. Conversely, the keys areas of dissatisfaction include the inconsistencies in the way that the degree is viewed in the arts administration field and the difficulty in achieving a work-life balance when pursuing careers in the field. The methods used to complete this original research include an interview with Alan Salzenstein, Board President of the Association of Arts Administration Educators (AAAE), coupled with a survey of Drexel University arts administration alumni.
