The Bachelor of Music in Music Business and Entertainment Industries is a professional degree program designed to prepare qualified musicians for careers in the business management, financial, legal, and artistic areas of the music industry. Music, business, and music business courses are combined in an interdisciplinary curriculum, which includes a minor in Marketing, Business Law, Management, Finance, Business Technology, Public Relations, or other approved business-related area. 

Coursework, extra-curricular participation, and internships are vital components of the degree program. The program is interdisciplinary in nature with emphasis placed upon courses in music business, music, and business. Majors study music business topics such as copyright, music publishing, record companies, entertainment contracts, artist management, touring, and music marketing; music topics such as music theory, private lessons, music history and literature, keyboard skills, performance, and music technology; and business topics such as economics, accounting, business law, marketing, and management.  Students are also required to select and complete a minor from those offered in the School of Business or School of Communications. 

Music business students are encouraged to participate in all of the extra-curricular activities that we have available, including internships, participating in student-run enterprises, and getting involved with various music business focused student organizations.  More information about these opportunities can be found under the Student Life tab on our website.
