Music Industry

Diverse and hands-on courses

There are three options within the Music Industry program: Music Business, Audio Production, or a combination of the two, Music Industry. These programs are a part of the Music department and require an instrumental or vocal audition for acceptance. We also offer a Music Industry Minor, which does not require an audition.

Explore the chart below to discover the core classes you can expect to take, along with courses related to your chosen or combined emphasis.
