What Will I Learn?

What is Unique About Our Program?
Rather than concentrating in any one department, you will study within the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business and Economics. The degree is also designed to make adding a minor or second major for specialization easy, and you will still be able to graduate on time in four years. For example, add a minor in:
- Theatrical & entertainment technology

- Marketing
If you decide not to add on to your major, this degree will prepare you for work in the not-for-profit sector, standard business sector, arts organization management, and theater/venue management to name just a few options. In addition you will be given skills to create and market your own music, create your own brand, and explore the music industry.
