About the Program

Established in 2016, the Business of Creative Enterprises (BCE) program at Emerson College is dedicated to exploring intersections of business and creativity in the creative economy. The BCE program includes a diverse and vibrant community of leaders, practitioners, scholars, and learners, connecting education, experiences and industries. From creative collaboration to cultural economics and strategic decision making, the unique curriculum is designed to teach students the core skills transferable across all creative enterprises.

The BCE program attracts students with a passion for arts and communication, who seek careers leading and managing businesses in the creative industries. Distinct from traditional business majors or arts management programs, the BCE major prepares students to become executives, managers, intrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators in the creative industries.

The BCE community emphasizes the values of collaboration, empathy, equity, and problem solving with a creative mindset across all business sectors. Learn more about the BCE program here. The appointment begins August 24, 2023 with a mandatory 2-day orientation August 24 & 25, 2023.
