The Rose, Jules R., and Stanford S. Setnor School of Music is one of five academic units of the Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts. Housed primarily in Crouse College, Syracuse University, the Setnor School educates composers, performers, music teachers, scholars, and industry professionals.
The Syracuse University Music Department was founded in 1887, making Syracuse one of the first universities in the country to grant four-year degrees in music (both in music and in music theory). The school was also a founding member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and has the first accredited Music Industry program in the country (B.M. in Music Industry).
