 Through its new Graduate Programs in Arts Administration, Le Moyne College is forging new connections with local Arts and Culture organizations. Starting this summer and fall, the College will offer two new degrees - a Master of Science and a Graduate Certificate - in the growing field of Arts Administration. Le Moyne is the first Jesuit College or University in the United States to offer a Master of Science in Arts Administration.
During the program, students will study marketing, fundraising, finance, governance, community engagement, and other arts-related topics. Students will also complete coursework offered by Le Moyne's Madden School of Business and will work directly with arts and culture organizations during a capstone consulting project.
Local organizations who have signed on to work directly with students include Artrage Gallery, CNY Arts, CNY Jazz Arts Foundation, Community Folk Art Center, Everson Museum of Art, Fingerlakes Musical Theatre Festival, Landmark Theatre, Open Hand Theater, Point of Contact Gallery, Redhouse Arts Center, Sculpture Space, Skaneateles Festival, Symphoria, Syracuse International Film Festival, Syracuse Poster Project, Syracuse Stage, and the United States Institute of Theatrical Technology.
"First and foremost, working in the real world will provide our students with valuable tools and insights as they continue their careers in the visual and performing arts," says Travis Newton, assistant professor at Le Moyne and director of the new program. "We also hope that these partnerships will reap benefits for our local arts and culture organizations, which enhance our quality of life and deserve our support."
During the month of April, the College will hold two information sessions for community members who would like to learn more about the program:
Tuesday, April 14th at 6:00 p.m. in the W. Carroll Coyne Center for the Performing Arts, which is located on the Le Moyne campus (at the corner of Salt Springs and Springfield Roads). Program faculty and admission representatives will be on hand to explore the degree requirements for the 36-credit Master of Science in Arts Administration as well as the 15-credit Graduate Certificate.
The second session will be conducted via Google Hangout (online video conferencing) on Tuesday, April 21st at 6:30 p.m. EDT, enabling those not located in Syracuse to learn more about the program in an interactive format. For this virtual session, Le Moyne faculty will be joined by Barry Church-Woods, an executive with the Edinburgh (Scotland) Fringe Festival, one of the College's global partners. An overview of the program's curriculum will also be given during this second session, and the entire session will be made available on Youtube for those who are unable to attend.
