Music Business Associates Degree Program


  • When a job opens up with a record label or artist booking agency,  will you have the credentials to show you can do the job?
  • An associate degree in Music Business will set you apart. Many want to be part of the music industry, but you will have the business skills the employer wants.

Business skills · music industry knowledge · concepts of audio production

There are three legs to the music business. and each is covered in the 2-year Associate in Music Business degree program at Globe University/Minnesota School of Business:

  • Sales and marketing for the music business: business communications, accounting and other basic business skills, the keys to building profitable careers and strong companies for talented artists and other industry players
  • Music industry skills and knowledge: entertainment networking, self-promotion, artist management, live performance production, copyrights and publishing, and radio, television and Internet as media
  • Audio production: lab experience on ProTools (every student has a DAW workstation) and MIDI, covering the language of audio production and how to use that knowledge to protect and promote artists and recording studios
