Music Combined with Business
Major & Minor
If you`d like to combine your study of Music with courses in Business, consider working toward a bachelor`s degree in Music with elective studies in the outside field of Business. This diverse and competitive degree program will enable you to prepare for both fields.
Faculty
Music School faculty members are all performing artists with expertise in the fields of Performance, Music Education, Theory and Composition, or Music Technology. School of Business faculty members have expertise in Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Economics, and Business Law.
Special Features
This unusual program allows you to earn a Music degree in four years and a Master of Business Administration degree with only one additional year of study. Students who stay the fifth year to earn an MBA may continue to study music while taking classes in Stetson`s Lynn Business Center across the street from the School of Music. Stetson`s School of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and offers a 6-1 student-faculty ratio, an international faculty, state of the art facilities, and the opportunity to perform with award winning ensembles. The School of Business Administration is accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. It is housed in the newly refurbished Lynn Business Center, and offers the latest technology to students.
Course Information
Course Requirements are taken from both the Music and Business curricula and enable graduates to complete an MBA in just one year, if they choose.
Internship Opportunities
Students may participate in a variety of music related internships; for example, Wes Whatley spent the summer of 2001 interning at Artemis Records in New York City.
Career Opportunities
This combined program prepares students for graduate studies in Music and/or Business or for management careers in the performing arts. It offers excellent preparation for those interested in working in music-related business careers, such as management of performing arts facilities or classical radio stations, community cultural development, music publishing, or sales. Graduates may also choose to become more marketable by investing an additional year to earn a Stetson Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.
