Humber's Music Business graduate certificate program is available twice annually, giving you flexibility to choose the schedule that works best for you. The intensive summer option starts in early May with classroom instruction concluding in late August, followed by a 300-hour field placement from August through December.
Alternatively, you can select the traditional September-to-May format, completing your field experience between May and August. Both program options cover identical curriculum content, with the primary variation being the pace of delivery.
This program equips students for diverse careers in the music sector by blending theoretical knowledge with hands-on training in entrepreneurship, business operations, and project management. Coursework explores the Canadian music landscape, covering artist representation, venue operations, legal agreements, intellectual property rights, global distribution channels, and marketing strategies. Students build essential industry competencies including communication and relationship-building skills, guided by Humber's faculty of active music industry practitioners and guest experts who provide insights on professional collaboration. Practical experience and networking opportunities form integral parts of the program's approach.
