Degrees

The Music Business program is designed for students who intend to seek employment within the music business industry as an alternative to the strictly traditional Music degree program. The Associate in Science degree in Music Business combines a traditional music curriculum with industry-related courses and experiences.

Music business majors will take courses in general academics, music business, music theory, sound engineering, music ensemble, marketing, small business entrepreneurship, accounting and computer applications. The Music Business curriculum includes copyright, publishing, artist development, the recording industry, sales, retailing, live concert promotion and management, preparing well-rounded graduates knowledgeable in all aspects of the music industry.
