Arts Administration

Video
As arts administrators, this is our job - providing today's artists with the framework, resources, and support that they need in order to create great works of art. In short, making art work.

Through coursework and real-world experience, Le Moyne's interdisciplinary Arts Administration minor prepares students who wish to make a difference in the arts world.

Through partnerships with the departments of visual and performing arts, communication and film studies, and the Madden School of Business, the arts administration minor offers flexibility for students of any major.

"I have learned so much in Le Moyne’s arts administration program, but how to be professional while remaining my creative self probably sums it up best. The real-life experience that I have gained as an assistant curator for the Syracuse Technology Garden has been outstanding. I’ve met so many people and learned so much." - Melissa McGovern '16
