Dowd  \nwith contributions from Rachel Skaggs and Trent Ryan  \n1 Dowd and Frenette are equal co-authors of this report.  \nExecutive Summary  \nArts school executives and faculty face the daunting, zero-sum challenge of packing more and better preparation into over-taxed academic calendars and saturated students: major requirements in a bachelor’sor graduate degree track; professional and vocational preparation; internships; a liberal arts core curriculum; and second majors and minors, without neglecting the ever important extra-curricular activities that seem increasingly “co-curricular” and career-essential.  \nHow best to balance in the curriculum preparation for specialized, skill-heavy careers in highly competitive arts professions with the sort of educational preparation characteristic of a liberal arts curriculum that promises to prepare students for flexible, self-directed, adaptable career paths with the multiple episodes and pivots that have become so commonplace for this generation? What is most “foundational” in an undergraduate education in the arts and what skills and knowledge should be deferred to advanced study or the lessons of working life?  \nStrategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) survey data provide abundant insights into this perennial dilemma of curriculum design. While this SNAAP Special Report does not address all of these questions, it sheds light on an important yet understudied question related to the challenge of preparing students for an artistic career:  \nHow do experiences during the postsecondary education of arts alumni combine with their early experiences working in arts-related industries to shape whether these graduates leave or stay in a career devoted to artistic work?  \nWhat can SNAAP data tell us about which students are more likely to sustain careers in the arts? Which earlycareer experiences or influences tend to discourage graduates from continuing work in arts-related employment? Can knowing these factors help higher education institutions better prepare students and graduates to persist and flourish in pursuing their ambitions in the arts?  \nSNAAP survey data have long and persistently revealed that arts school graduates are dissatisfied with their entrepreneurial, business, and financial preparation while in school. Specifically, respondents wish that their alma maters had taught them about the practical aspects  \nof their work, including how to network and promote themselves, how to handle debt and budgets, how to manage the business concerns associated with their particular arts-based work, how to be entrepreneurial, and how to find jobs. Curiously, SNAAP data also reveal what a high value arts school graduates put on the liberal arts aspects of their education. They do not seem to be requesting a highly specialized or narrowly vocational education.  \nThis report shows that a graduate’s major can have a substantial influence on who stays professionally in the arts and who goes. For instance, majoring in architecture or design increases the odds of being a “stayer”(versus a“leaver”) while arts alumni majoring in art history and several other majors are less likely to stay after ever having worked in the arts. Other majors have no statistically significant impact on whether alumni remain in artsbased careers or leave them.  \nBeyond major, other significant predictors of who staysand who leaves include timely completion of degree, the securing of advanced degrees, as well as the pursuit of personal connections and internships.  \nSNAAP survey data reveal considerable demographic inequalities among arts school students – during school and well after graduation – particularly by race/ethnicity and gender. Controlling for all other factors, the odds of women alumni staying in arts-related occupations (after entering a career in the arts) are lower compared to","cbCaibJDPA6izjNV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibJDPA6izjNV","pdf",2823094,36,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Key Dilemmas in Arts Curriculum Design\n## Who Stays vs. Who Leaves: Influential Factors\n## Demographic Inequalities and Debt\n## The Rise of “Generalists”\n## Research Approach and Data Scope\n# Introduction: Higher Education and Artistic Care","[{\"question\":\"What question does the SNAAP report address about arts careers?\",\"answer\":\"It asks how postsecondary education experiences, together with early work experiences in arts-related industries, influence whether arts alumni leave or stay in arts-focused careers.\"},{\"question\":\"How does a student’s major relate to career staying or leaving?\",\"answer\":\"The report finds that majoring in architecture or design increases the odds of staying, while art history majors and several others are less likely to stay after working in the arts; some majors show no statistically significant effect.\"},{\"question\":\"Which demographic and financial factors are linked to staying in arts-related work?\",\"answer\":\"After controlling for other factors, women alumni have lower odds of staying than men, people of color have lower odds than white alumni, and alumni with student debt over $50,000 are more likely to leave than those with less debt.\"}]","SNAAP Special Report - Spring 2020 - Careers in the Arts: Who Stays and Who Leaves? | PDF",1792058344,91]
