Training
•BM in Music Industry requires applicants to be musicians who pass a principal-instrument performance audition, distinguishing it from the no-audition BA Music Industry track at the same school
•Program has run since 1966 and has repeatedly been named among Billboard magazine's top music industry programs
•Faculty are "pracademics" — working professionals as well as scholars — who bring current industry activity into coursework covering how each sector of the business has evolved and where it is heading
Professional Development
•Extracurricular activities put students to work through internships, student-run music enterprises, and music-industry organizations and clubs from their first semester
•Coursework spans music industry, music, music technology, English and communications, and STEM electives, preparing graduates for roles at record companies, publishers, talent agencies, digital music services, and artist management firms
Degree Flexibility
•Combining a required performance audition with industry/business coursework suits students who want a Bachelor of Music credential alongside music-business training
