MAM Career Outcomes
DEDICATED CAREER SUPPORT
Heinz College treats career development as seriously as academics. The MAM program has a dedicated Career Services Director who works individually with each MAM student from the time they enter the program, and throughout their career as a MAM graduate.
We cultivate a tight-knit community that shares experiences and opportunities; the "MAM Fam" stays closely connected via social media and networking events. This is especially important because our graduates are employed in a variety of decision-making roles, working in every functional area of organizations and agencies that shape and influence the arts and cultural industries.
Salary levels in arts organizations are typically lower than those in the private sector, especially at the entry level, but the MAM degree will help you advance more rapidly. Additionally, a Heinz College education provides you with highly transferable skills that are sought by employers across all sectors, leading some MAM graduates to find unexpected opportunities in creative departments within public and private firms.
