Florida State University\u2019s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship<\/a> (JMC) is celebrating a milestone as the first cohort of graduates completes its Master of Science in entrepreneurship with a major in creative arts entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n The innovative program represents a significant step forward in interdisciplinary arts education at FSU, bringing together resources from the College of Music, the College of Fine Arts and the College of Motion Picture Arts to support creators who want to strengthen their entrepreneurial skills.<\/p>\n The program is designed for experienced creatives who want to enhance their professional practice by adding entrepreneurial strategy and business insight. Students will complete online courses, providing flexibility for those already working in their field. Cohorts typically include individuals who specialize in fields such as music, film, visual and performing arts or creative writing.<\/p>\n \u201cAs someone who is working full time but wanted to continue their education, the Creative Arts master\u2019s program allows me the flexibility to learn valuable skills in my current career and beyond,\u201d says Evan Eisenstark, who works full time as a social media specialist at FSU. \u201cBeing a part of the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship has also given me the opportunity to meet and learn from other entrepreneurs and take the steps to one day start my own venture.\u201d<\/p>\n Students in the program complete an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes coursework in arts marketing, storytelling, arts and entertainment law, strategy formulation and innovation history.

They also participate in applied venture courses that guide them through the incubation and acceleration of a real creative venture. Graduates will leave the program with a developed business concept, strengthened artistic identity and a clear path for advancing their professional goals.<\/p>\n \u201cEntrepreneurship is often misunderstood as something separate from the creative process. In this program, we treat it as part of authorship,\u201d said Darren Hoffman, teaching faculty at the College of Motion Picture Arts and Entrepreneur in Residence for the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship. \u201cWhen artists understand how value is created, shared and maintained, they gain more freedom rather than less. That shift in perspective is what defines this first graduating cohort.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen artists understand how value is created, shared and maintained, they gain more freedom rather than less.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Darren Hoffman, FSU College of Motion Picture Arts<\/p>\n JMC is proud to recognize this inaugural group of graduates who have demonstrated creativity, resilience and leadership throughout their time in the program.
