About the course

The Commercial Music major combines the three primary areas required to be successful in the music industry: knowledge of a broad spectrum of music, a facility with audio recording and music production, and business acumen to make smart financial decisions. As a Commercial Music major, you will gain a strong foundation in these areas and then specialize by choosing a minor that matches your passions and interests.

　　The B.A.A. in Commercial Music has been designed to help anyone make the music they want to make in a supportive and hands-on environment. This program allows you to learn about music theory, audio recording, studio production, and essential business skills. Whether you want to be a songwriter, write music for film or video games, be an audio engineer with a recording studio, or successfully work on the business side of the music industry, the Commercial Music program will give you a rounded foundation upon which you can specialize. Choose a minor in Music, Songwriting, Multimedia Design, Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, Business Administration, Finance, Entrepreneurship, or Game Design Thinking to tailor your skillset toward your dream gig.
