USC Thornton School of Music - Music Industry

<p>I plan on transferring there in Fall 2010. I'm aiming for a career in tour marketing/concert promotion. Can anybody give me any insight on the program? If you're a fell transfer student, how was the transferring experience like? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Sorry, forget the "fell".</p>

<p>Housefan,
I suggest you post your question in the SC Forum, in addition to the music forum. There might be more help found there about this particular major.
Good luck!</p>

<p>hey everyone! I am applying as a Junior transfer for Fall 2010. I attend UC Santa Cruz, but I would love to transfer to Thornton as a Music Industry major. I currently have a 3.2ish gpa, but I know I can get it up to a 3.4 after Fall quarter. Throughout the past school year, my gpa consistently climbed, from a 2.35 fall quarter to a 3.56 in spring quarter. How much does Thornton care about gpa?</p>

<p>I work at my school’s radio station as a DJ on two radio shows, and I am also on the Program Review Committee and the Governing Board. I have helped plan numerous events at the station and I was awarded Rookie of the Year for the 2008-2009 year. Outside of school, I interned at Warner Bros. Records this summer in the promotions department. Will these extracurricular activities help me get into the Music Industry program? I want a career in music and I feel that USC’s B.S. in Music Industry in the best option.</p>

<p>For the BS in Music Industry, USC recommends taking Macro and Micro Econ prior to transferring, but they aren’t requirement. As of now I am planning on taking Macro in the fall and Micro in the winter. Is this a good plan?</p>

<p>Thank you to whoever can help me with these questions!</p>
