CAZENOVIA, N.Y. — Le Moyne College and Cazenovia College have recently signed an “accelerated-path” agreement to “attract” Cazenovia students to Le Moyne’s master of science in arts administration program.
The “accelerated-path” agreement covers a period of five years starting with the 2017-2018 academic year, according to a news release posted on the Cazenovia College website.
The pact allows Cazenovia students to begin course work in Le Moyne’s masters in arts administration program during their final year of undergraduate studies at Cazenovia. They will apply for admittance into the Le Moyne program during their junior year, then take one course per semester in the program during their senior year at Cazenovia.
Those accepted will not have to provide a graduate record examinations (GRE) test score and will have their application fee waived.
“Le Moyne’s master in arts administration has quickly become a much sought-after degree, and the job placement of those who have completed the program have been impressive,” Linda LeMura, president of Le Moyne College, contended in a separate news release. “We are excited about this partnership with Cazenovia College and look forward to it being an option for Cazenovia graduates seeking to pursue graduate study in arts administration.”
It’s the second academic agreement that the schools have signed. The colleges in 2014 announced a 4+1 agreement that provides Cazenovia students and graduates with a “formal path” to admission into the MBA program at Le Moyne.
About the arts administration program
Launched in 2015, Le Moyne’s master of science in arts administration is a 36-credit program allowing students to study and apply management concepts in an arts environment.
In the program, students will study marketing and fundraising, learn to collaborate with a board of directors, understand how to interpret financial documents, and “gain perspective” on managing a creative workforce.
The program places students in consultancies with area arts and culture organizations. Students will also have the chance to travel to New York City “on a regular basis” to meet with arts leaders. Students can also study the global arts industry through a course that includes travel to Edinburgh, Scotland and London, England, Le Moyne said.
