Co-major baccalaureate degrees provide in-depth coursework in business and another discipline without the more extensive requirements involved in obtaining a degree in each discipline.

The contemporary world of music is increasingly dependent on knowledge of business practices. The music-business co-major is designed for students who wish to enter the music or entertainment industry with a strong background in both music and contemporary business skills. The program is also flexible enough to accommodate individual career objectives. The program comprises 46 music credits, 40 business credits, and 12 support course credits.
