Hello Mary,

    All I can say is that the art dept. at K-State hasn't awakened to
    the need for a couple business courses. The website does note that
    the BFA is oriented toward a professional career in art. Don't know
    what the orientation for the BA in art would be. 

    A good friend who completed her BFA about 15 years ago had the same
    thought. I'd suggest a special business course for non-business
    majors, called business for entertainers. It should target anyone who
    will rely on skills and abilities like performance arts, fine arts,
    sports, etc. There are some basic concepts that people who work for
    themselves or under contract, should know about the business stuff.
    Taxes. Accounting. Investing. Credit. Undoubtedly there are more
    topics.

    changed it to windy drizzle.
