• Bachelor of Music with Emphasis in Business 
• Major

Stetson University's BM with Business Emphasis is 32 units and gives you a full conservatory music education alongside six specified courses from the School of Business Administration. Your curriculum closely follows a performance degree, including weekly private lessons, ensemble participation, conducting, and a senior recital, with a genuine business concentration integrated throughout. This undergraduate degree spans two nationally accredited schools, NASM accreditation from the School of Music and AACSB accreditation from the School of Business.

Why Music with Emphasis in Business at Stetson University?

That dual-school standing opens doors in the music industry, entertainment management, business, finance, and entrepreneurship that a single-school degree cannot. As a student in the BMEB program at the School of Music, you'll enjoy a comprehensive music education:

• Singers participate in choir voice lessons and perform in operas or musical theater.
• Instrumentalists receive private lessons from expert faculty and play in orchestras, bands, jazz bands and specialized ensembles.
• You'll take courses in conducting, music technology, career skills and more.
• Your senior recital, guided by your applied music instructor, is a culmination of weekly lessons and performance classes.
• Adjustments to language and diction requirements for singers and advanced theory sequences for instrumentalists accommodate additional units in business.
