For more information, contact Bill Werde, Search Committee Chair, Director of the Bandier Program, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University. Phone: 315-443-3280. Email: bwerde@syr.edu ABOUT THE BANDIER PROGRAM: Founded nearly 20 years ago at Syracuse University, the Bandier Program rapidly gained both national and international recognition as one of the top music business programs in the country; we are one of a small number of such programs named to Billboard’s annual Top Music Business Schools list each year the list has been published. In 2017, the renowned S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications became the home for this multidisciplinary program. A new director was hired, and a new curriculum created, building on existing excellence to develop an even deeper understanding of rights and royalties, media content and creation, and the industry’s integration of data and emerging technologies. The Program has expanded its focus on learning through hands-on, industry-facing experience. Required courses are also taught in the School of Visual and Performing Arts, and the Whitman School of Management. The Bandier Program is highly selective, admitting 30 students each year. Majors also study abroad and participate in semester-long industry immersions in our New York and Los Angeles professional study centers. Students in the program routinely earn recognition with both leadership roles and entrepreneurial projects that often extend beyond the boundaries of the Syracuse university campus. Alumni have established successful careers in major markets (mainly New York and Los Angeles) as record label executives; music publishers; artist managers; touring agents and promoters; attorneys; and artists. They are found in numerous leadership positions and often return to campus to share their knowledge. About the Newhouse School The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University trains the next generation of communications leaders, preparing students to not only enter a rapidly changing media industry, but to shape its future. Called one of the “very best schools” in its field by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) in an April 2023 reaccreditation report, Newhouse has been lauded for providing an excellent educational experience due to its outstanding students, faculty, staff, leadership and facilities, as well as financial stability and a deep curriculum. The Newhouse School is committed to expanding academic excellence through research and creative activity, as well as community engagement and professional opportunities to help students develop their skill set outside the classroom. Newhouse is home to approximately 2,100 undergraduates, 200 residential master’s degree students, 200 online master’s degree students and 15 doctoral degree students. They are among the best in the country, having secured a place in the class through a highly competitive admissions process. The typical admitted first-year student has a 3.9 GPA. The school’s 250,000-square-foot, three-building complex is a leading-edge learning environment where students are exposed to top-notch tools and technologies used by professionals in the field. Features include Dick Clark Studios, a high-tech entertainment production facility that rivals many Hollywood studios; the Diane and Bob Miron Digital News Center, complete with a contemporary news set, a virtual studio that accommodates green screen production and state-of-the-art lighting systems and cameras; the Alan Gerry Center for Media Innovation, a creative hub where Newhouse expertise in content development and production meets the latest media technology and programming trends; the Emerging Insights Lab, a state-of-the-art social media command center; and the Collaborative Media Room, home to the student-produced multimedia news site, The NewsHouse.
