Tiffin University’s Music Industry degree is designed to prepare students for a future in entrepreneurial music, or for working behind the scenes in the multifaceted and growing music business. While many colleges offer ‘music business’ degrees that are simply a combination of the same courses offered separately to music and business majors, Tiffin University’s BA in Arts Administration–Music Industry is designed from the ground up with today’s music industry in mind. And rather than offer courses that survey how the music business operates now and in the past, this degree looks into the future, providing majors with the broad interdisciplinary skills and adaptability that will be needed to succeed in the rapidly-changing nature of today’s music industry. The degree requires coursework in Music Performance, Theory, Music Business, Arts Management, Sound and Recording Technology, and Popular Music Studies, as well as courses in Business and Communication. Together this well-rounded degree program provides students with a common foundation of knowledge required of all music industry professionals.
TU students benefit from a variety of real-world experiences open to them, serving in leadership positions with the four major music festivals sponsored each year by Tiffin University, as members of TU’s Music Industry Teams, and in arequired internship and senior project. Past TU students have interned with the Walt Disney Companies, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, major regional arts organizations, recording studios and non-profits. These unique opportunities allow TU students to graduate not just with a degree, but with a strong resume that can open many career possibilities.
