Bachelor of Music in Music Business

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

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 curriculum covers topics such as music copyright, publishing, management, record labels, arts administration, scoring, music products, and much more. The Department of Music’s experience 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 and in permanent positions. Many have also returned to SIUE to provide our students with insights into the current state of the music industry.
