Bachelor of Science Degree in Music Industry - Music Industry Business Concentration

The degree in music industry offers the highly motivated and musically talented student a program of study that combines mastery of the art form with career preparation. Two concentrations are offered - Music Industry Business and Music Industry Technology—providing hands-on experience and a strong academic foundation in relevant areas of this rapidly changing industry. The music industry curriculum is divided into four areas which are combined with cooperative experience: general education, music core, music industry core, and concentration requirements. In an industry where the process of career building often begins with a few key contacts, the cooperative education program provides Drexel students the opportunity to meet industry professionals and network. The program prepares students for careers in the music industry in such diverse positions as recording engineer, music producer, sound designer, music lawyer, business manager or music publisher. The co-op experience during the sophomore and junior year summer terms involve full-time career-related employment, during which students gain valuable insight into how the entertainment industry works. The music industry business concentration provides a rigorous academic foundation complemented by a real-world hands-on, highly-intensive business experience. This mission is realized through the students' participation in the MAD Dragon Music Group, a group of student-run enterprises including: MAD Dragon Records, DraKO Booking Agency, MAD Dragon Publishing, MADKo Concert Promotions and a BANTIC media.
