02.13.01 The Arts Leadership Certificate Program

Visit the Institute for Music Leadership for more information about the Arts Leadership Program.

The Arts Leadership Program prepares Eastman students to be as inventive, enterprising, and ambitious with their future professional lives as possible as they strive to be as artists. It is an aspiration of the program that graduates of the Arts Leadership Program will exert greater control over both their own professional futures and the musical culture of America.

The ALP includes a curriculum of a wide variety of courses that teaches students basic survival skills of professional musicians; prepares students to be inventive performers capable of educating and engaging diverse audiences; exposes students to music-related career opportunities and technological innovations that affect the world of music; informs students about the administrative and managerial skills needed to lead arts organizations; educates students about the economics and politics of the arts in America.

Undergraduate students will be admitted for their junior or senior year in the ALP. Students are admitted on the basis of commitment to the goals of the program. The ALP Certificate requires that the student participate in 6 credit hours of ALP courses.

Graduate students must apply through the IML Office. Students must complete a minimum of 6 credits in the Arts Leadership Curriculum. Two credits may be accounted for by an approved and registered internship. All coursework and internship placements will require permission of a designated advisor.
