Binghamton University

New School of the Arts Initative

 Raising the visibility of the arts at Binghamton University by proposing a more durable and distinct structure.

Red Cactus has produced invaluable competitor analysis research for our New School of the Arts initiative and Beatrice has been a pleasure to work with—collaborative in spirit and very responsive to our evolving needs.


Pamela Smart, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs

New School of the Arts Initiative

Binghamton University is a world-class institution that offers students a broad, interdisciplinary education with an international perspective and one of the most vibrant research programs in the nation.  


Building on its long history of providing a rigorous liberal arts education, Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, at Binghamton, put forward a proposal to establish a New School of the Arts to provide a more durable and distinct structure for the arts while asserting its enduring commitment to supporting robust, vibrant and cohesive arts programs.  


To support this new initiative, Red Cactus conducted focus groups and interviews with Binghamton faculty, staff, and alumni, reviewed data and statistics, and compared Binghamton to key competitors and aspirational peers. The report revealed overwhelming support for the new School of the Arts and the value of bringing the arts seamlessly together in a way that was more cohesive and marketable to prospective students, parents, and other target audiences.

The arts have long been a source of strength at Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, with alumni appearing on the stage and the screen, in the writers’ room and behind the camera lens. The time is right to establish a School of the Arts within Harpur College.
