Creative Industries Certificate
Level up for a world in which creatives are in control.
In New Orleans, culture means business. But what does that mean for you?
Music, film and video, publishing, heritage and preservation, and visual, culinary, and performing arts all uniquely influence the Crescent City- but their collective strength relies on thousands of freelancers and entrepreneurs, from local and global networks alike. Tulane's Creative Industries Certificate (CIC) offers a suite of classes that leverage the insider knowledge of diverse creative practitioners and industry professionals to help students build successful creative careers that can pivot and adapt at any time to remain competitive in the ever-evolving digital space. Students pursuing a CIC will create personalized strategies for successful leadership and career development within and across the creative sectors. Understanding the organization of creative sectors and jobs is fundamental to critical competencies that translate to the festival circuit, pop-up scene, digital platforms, entertainment, and beyond.
“Every professor made an intentional effort to adjust their curriculum to the creative endeavors and interests of their unique students.”
