The contemporary world of music is increasingly dependent on knowledge of business practices. The music-business comajor is designed for students who wish to enter the music or entertainment industry with a strong background in both music and contemporary business skills. The program is also flexible enough to accommodate individual career objectives. The program is comprised of 46 music credits, 40 business credits, and 12 support course credits.
