The creative industry is one of the largest segments of the domestic and global economy, and it is growing and moving at the speed of light. Companies that could not be imagined a decade ago have transformed from disruptors to industry titans. Emerson College’s undergraduate, global, and graduate Business of Creative Enterprises (BCE) programs are for the creatives with a prowess for business—the business minds with a passion for the art. It’s for those who have shaped and developed the ideas that started it all. 

In our BCE programs, we teach you the art of business so that you graduate with the versatility to become a leader in this rapidly changing industry, and beyond. Our students learn to develop strategies and programs, identify cultural trends, tap into new markets, analyze financial statements, and assess risk. Ultimately, you will prepare to join the ranks of executives, managers, thought leaders, and innovators shaping the world.

Our robust offering of BCE programs includes:

Business of Creative Enterprises (BA)
