How The Arts Administration Program at The University of Akron Can Position Itself for Future Success

Public funding for higher education, like all budget items in the current economic climate, is under review. The newly created University System of Ohio hopes to streamline funding and differentiate the 13 public universities in the state of Ohio so that Ohio citizens get the best results for the fewest public dollars. The Arts Administration program at The University of Akron is not the highest ranked nor a major producer of graduates. Both the University System of Ohio and the Northeast Ohio Universities Collaboration and Innovation Study recommend that universities focus their efforts on a few key “Centers of Excellence.” This will guide all public universities in making crucial funding and planning decisions and help the overall quality of education in Ohio, as well as its economy. In light of this, the program must position itself for future success within the University System of Ohio’s funding priorities.
