Music Business program structure
Most bachelor’s degrees in music business last three years, or four years if you take a placement year. Work placements are an ideal opportunity to get an inside look at the industry and build a professional network.
It’s possible to study music business in the US, but undergraduate courses are structured a little differently and require four years of study. After completing two years of general education classes, you’ll choose music business as your major for the remaining two years.
If you’re hoping to get more of a headstart in the music business, you might consider taking a postgraduate course. Master’s degrees take between one and two years, while PhDs can take anywhere between four and eight years to finish.
You’ll benefit from a combination of lectures, seminars, practical sessions, and group workshops. Assessment methods vary between modules, but essays, group research projects, presentations, and case study analyses are common.
Here are some of the fundamental modules you’ll probably take as part of your program:
- Principles of music management
- Music video production
- Making sense of the music business
- Music cultures and economies
- Principles of marketing
- Business law and ethics
- Event planning and management
- Music law and copyright
