Program details
Overview
The Advanced Arts and Entertainment Management Certificate provides students with the skills, experience and contacts necessary for employment in the industry. This one-year program requires two years of post-secondary training or equivalent work experience for admission, and offers students a unique blend of course work and practicum experience in the arts and entertainment industry. Students gain an overview of all aspects of arts and entertainment management, including marketing, resource development, and financial, tour, production and artist management in both the commercial and non-profit cultural sectors.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires either 30 credits of post-secondary education including three credit hours of English or Communications coursework, or a minimum of 365 verified hours of experience in the arts and entertainment industry combined with a score of at least 75% on Capilano's entrance exam; students with industry experience who fall short of the post-secondary-credit threshold may still be considered admissible. Applicants who completed their previous education in a language other than English must meet Capilano's general English-language proficiency requirement, published on the university's admission-requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6; TOEFL iBT 83 (or, from Spring 2027, 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0 on the redesigned scale); CAEL 70; PTE Academic 56; or Duolingo English Test 125+ with no sub-score below 115 (accepted on a temporary basis). An interview is also required as part of the application to the Advanced Arts and Entertainment Management Certificate.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC: the domestic application fee is $50 CAD and the international fee is $135 CAD, each covering up to two programmes. Capilano University publishes no university-wide application-opening or closing date for either group for the 2026-27 cycle; its how-to-apply pages instruct applicants to check the application and document deadlines on their chosen programme's own page, since every programme sets its own intake window there. Admission is effectively rolling at the institution level, governed programme by programme, with some programmes (for example the Health Care Assistant Certificate) publishing a fixed intake window that opens and closes months ahead of the start date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
