Schools with music business/music industry program??

<p>My dream job would be to work in the music industry. I want to be involved in the business side of things such as booking, concert production, marketing, etc. I have read about a couple of schools that offer a music industry program but I am trying to broaden my search. Does anyone have info about any school with a program specifically for music industry?</p>

<p>Surely there is a list to be googled…USC, NYU, Belmont</p>

<p>How about contacting the internship directors at music business companies (venues, talent management, etc.) and ask them what programs they like? Which interns seem to come to them most prepared? </p>

<p>As a “dark horse,” consider University of the Arts in Philadelphia. They have a relatively new “Music Entrepreneurship (or Engineering), Business, & Technology” major. My son has some good friends in the program, who enjoy it. They have a fair amount of scholarship funds available, and Philly is a lively, affordable city for young, creative types. Also, as a safety, look into Columbia College Chicago. </p>
