Music Business
Overview
With the digital medium ever morphing and advancing, the music business paradigm is constantly changing. In the midst of this change, business fundamentals remain constant. SIUE provides an atmosphere where students can create and collaborate. The University’s state-of-the-art recording facility gives students a look into the recording-making business and process. Students are given a chance, in simulation, to budget, produce, market and promote their products.
The specialization curriculum covers:
- Music copyright
- Publishing
- Management
- Record labels
- Arts administration
- Scoring
- Music products
- And more!
Faculty experiences and associations help our students become confident in the opportunities that exist in their prospective fields. On- and off- campus internships are available for students to fulfill degree requirements and facilitate networking for further career training.
Our music business students have gone on to work in all of the major music markets as interns as well as in permanent positions. Many have also returned to SIUE as guest speakers to provide students with insights into the current state of the music industry.
