Arts entrepreneurship educational efforts within U.S. university music departments vary between institutions. Music history and theory course sequences and content remain relatively unchanged over the decades. Set against this, arts entrepreneurship is still in its conceptual phase as administrators and educators navigate elusive definitions and multiple teaching theories. Scholars have primarily focused on arts entrepreneurship at the undergraduate level, with less attention for graduate and doctoral students in recent years. This research project examines the individual efforts of arts entrepreneurship activities and curricula for graduate students at ten music departments affiliated with or part of Research 1 universities, Research 1 meaning very high research activity. Specifically, this study investigates programmatic traits to determine which programs are advancing their efforts to supply graduate students with adequate resources in this field. To determine favorable efforts, the collective data for each department summarizes practice in six key areas: graduate and doctoral student enrollment, the presence or absence of a career development office or program within the music department's facilities, the department's definition of entrepreneurship or arts entrepreneurship, academic offerings, additional engagement activities, and external internships. Data was gathered from extensive telephone interviews with administrators or faculty at each site, online sources, and primary and secondary literature covering the selected departments. The results show that music programs with a career development office or program within the department yield more curricular offerings and higher rates of entrepreneurial activities. On this basis, the inclusion of a dedicated career development office or program within a music department should be taken into account by universities when creating entrepreneurial offerings for graduate students.
