York's MBA and Graduate Diplomas in Arts, Media and Entertainment Management are unique in Canada; at no other institution can a student obtain an MBA with a concentration in arts and media management.

The Graduate Diploma in Arts, Media and Entertainment Management is earned concurrently with the Master of Business Administration and must be completed within one term of finishing the MBA. MBA students earn the diploma by completing a specific concentration of Arts and Media courses, management courses, and a field study with an arts, media or entertainment organization. Students will also complete an internship in the cultural sector.
