Academic Opportunities
The Janklow Arts Leadership Program is housed in the Department of Art and Music Histories, one of the oldest in the country, dedicated to the study of the arts in an interdisciplinary setting. The department was established in 1947 by cultural historian William Fleming, whose publications serve as a model for SU's approach to the arts in relation to their cultural, social, economic, and political contexts. Launching in the summer of 2012, the Janklow Arts Leadership Program continues SU's commitment to arts teaching, policy work, research, service, and enterprise.
