The Music Industry bachelor's program at Drexel University's Westphal College of Media Arts & Design is a comprehensive four-year curriculum centered on the business, technological, and managerial aspects of the music field. We're witnessing transformative shifts across the music landscape. The ways music gets created, distributed, marketed, and monetized are undergoing constant evolution, with innovations emerging almost weekly. This dynamic environment requires professionals to grasp how the music sector interacts with the broader entertainment ecosystem. Thriving in this industry demands strong business acumen, including contract comprehension, intellectual property law knowledge, technological proficiency, and the capacity to innovate and adjust within this fast-paced global marketplace. Graduates earn a Bachelor of Science degree.
Drexel Westphal's Music Industry program fosters hands-on learning through teamwork, entrepreneurial thinking, and creative problem-solving. Students can specialize in either Recording & Music Production (RAMP) or Music Business, though cross-disciplinary coursework is encouraged to develop both artistic and commercial expertise. Those focusing on Music Business have the additional option to enroll in an accelerated combined BS/MBA program through Drexel's LeBow College of Business.
