According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education in 2006, there were about 1,000 students educated in more than 10 institutes of the arts administration field in Taiwan. Most of these institutes are in graduated level. However, in a survey of 517 full-time arts administrators of performing arts groups published by Council of Culture Affairs in 2007 showed there were only about 15% of them with master degrees. Besides personal interests of these administrators, this research want to clarify the situation: if these arts administrators have any other special personalities or abilities; therefore, if there are some differences between arts administrators¡¦ competencies of performing arts groups¡¦ requirements and the academic training of the arts administration and management. The researcher has approached this problem in three directions: the curriculum designs of the related master programs, the ideal competencies from literature review, and the interview with four personnel managers of performing arts cultivation teams. The analysis and comparison are done by this triangulation. The study finds that there are 32 competencies suggested by the past studies, and 30 important competencies are mentioned by the performing arts groups. On the other hand, the schools¡¦ courses can only cultivate 12 competencies, required by the performing arts groups. The result shows that the related master programs are more concentrated on visible competencies than hidden ones. They all can be improved to meet the working field required. Key words: performing arts group, arts administrator, curriculum design, hidden competency, visible competency
