In the Music Industry major at Houghton University, you will master the latest industry business practices with proficiency in recording and production techniques, while still maintaining a classical foundation in musicianship and theory. Our hands-on approach, coupled with extensive classroom training, internships and professional mentorships, will prepare you to meet the challenges within the music industry, worship arts and entertainment job markets. Music itself is not a business, but an art form in which business was built around. Because of this, every musical talent needs a support system behind the scenes. From musical performances and concerts that require the aid of a promotional team, agents, and stage crews to streaming an album of your favorite artist that represents the work of studio engineers, producers, technicians, marketing, legal teams, and distributors, musical business is a vast field of unlimited opportunities.
