THE WISCONSIN MBA ISN’T “ONE SIZE FITS ALL.” OUR MANAGEMENT-RELATED MBA PROGRAMS GIVE YOU UNMATCHED EXPERTISE IN STRATEGIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, ARTS ADMINISTRATION, OR BRAND & PRODUCT MANAGEMENT.
For students who already know where they
are headed, Wisconsin is the place to start.
Combining a uniquely deep experience in
a designated area of study with a strong
foundation of business principles, Wisconsin
MBA students graduate with a portfolio of
skills, experience, and specialized knowledge
that allows them to hit the ground running and
immediately contribute to the success of their
organizations.
A hallmark of the Wisconsin MBA is
the extensive applied learning built into
the curriculum, providing students real
opportunities to solve problems faced by
businesses today. These applied learning
projects are interwoven with rigorous classroom
material, bringing research theory to life.
Students graduate with the ability to be a field-
specific expert while also supporting the overall
business function of the organization. They also
have lifelong access to their specific knowledge
center, which provides a bridge between their
prior academic experience and the real-world
activities sustained in their workplace.
No other MBA program can match the level
of individualized staff support we provide
in each of our 10 career specializations. Our
outstanding alumni network, engaged industry
partners, active student organizations and clubs,
and supportive community of creative and
adventurous leaders put the Wisconsin MBA out
in front.
Within the Wisconsin MBA, you’ll find:
• An innovative, applied curriculum
• Motivated, like-minded students
• Faculty and staff dedicated to your knowledge center
• An advisory board of top executives from relevant industries
• Connections to top employers in your area of interest
• Access to a powerful worldwide alumni network
A Wisconsin MBA is grounded in applied
learning, graduating individuals prepared to
add immediate value to the organizations
that employ them. Each newly admitted
student joins a relatively small MBA class of
approximately 130 participants and an even
smaller, intimate cohort of driven, accomplished
individuals who are committed to careers in
their chosen specialization. Students benefit
from a strong core business curriculum while
building an unmatched depth of knowledge and
expertise within their area of specialization. As
part of this small group, students get individual
attention, unique access to faculty and staff,
a loyal network of alumni, and a wealth of
insights from industry executives.

ARTS ADMINISTRATIONManagers and business leaders of arts
organizations provide an essential bridge
between art, artists, and audiences. They
combine the tools of business—management,
marketing, accounting, finance, operations,
negotiation—with the tools of community-
building—fundraising, development, education,
outreach, volunteerism, partnership—to make
thriving and vital spaces for arts and culture.
The Wisconsin MBA in Arts Administration
prepares students for the special challenges of
working in arts and culture, with an emphasis
on nonprofit, public, and community-based
organizations.
Students learn through intensive business
coursework and hands-on project assistantships
with campus and community organizations,
providing significant work experience while
in school. Part-time project-level appointments
with the Madison Symphony Orchestra,
Wisconsin Union, Overture Center for the Arts,
Dane County Cultural Affairs Commission,
Wisconsin Public Radio, UW-Madison Arts
Institute, and other host organizations ensure a
healthy mix of theory and practice throughout
the program.
Students also gain direct insight from innovative
and experienced practitioners through a guest
lecture series, alumni events and connections,
on-line discussions, national conference
participation, and real-world research projects
and consultancies.
The Bolz Center for Arts Administration is
one of the nation’s oldest and most respected
business degree programs in arts and cultural
management, and one of the few to offer
