The curriculum combines a business core along with courses in performing arts touring and presenting, producing Broadway and regional theatre, and fundraising.

Additionally, Pittsburgh's Cultural District is just blocks away from campus, offering students with the opportunity to work in theatre, ballet, opera and dance. The Carnegie Museums, the Carnegie Science Center and the Andy Warhol Museum are also nearby.
