Bachelor of Arts in Arts, Entertainment and Media Business

The BA program is designed for students who have an interest in the general study of performing arts disciplines such as music and theatre across a range of traditions and genres, but with a particular focus on the business operations of these areas. The interdisciplinary nature of the program will prepare graduates to work in arts organizations, theatre casting offices, artist management, or a wide array of career paths. This program is offered by the Chicago College of Performing Arts and the Heller College of Business. Through this interdisciplinary collaboration, a world-renowned performing arts college partners with a comprehensive business college to offer a program that provides a firm foundation in both performing arts and general business, which prepares students for administrative leadership positions in arts organizations or as entrepreneurs leading their own performing arts venture.

A freshman applicant is defined as an individual who has completed or will complete a high school degree or its equivalent and has fewer than 12 transferrable college credit hours. The admission requirements for freshman applicants are as follows: Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University. If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts. Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
