Every music business major, regardless of concentration, participates in a music business internship. Students in the commercial music concentration have extensive experience with the making of music, both in composition and performance.

Graduates with music business skills may find their place in a variety of careers. Some perform professionally or record other artists. Music business majors may work as consultants or contractors or in record company leadership. There is also lots of work to be found in music merchandising and distribution of products. Still others will find their niche in concert or artist promotion or go on to law school and work as an entertainment attorney.
