The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree is interdisciplinary in nature, combining specialized studies in music and business with a core of general liberal arts and sciences. Graduates are prepared to pursue a wide variety of career possibilities in the music industry and related fields. Due to the diverse nature of the music industry and the possible career tracks of our students, the Music Business Major at Montreat College is distinguished by exceptional flexibility. Students have the capability to craft a curriculum that is relevant to their own needs and interests. 

The Music Business program at Montreat is also very practical. All majors are enrolled in the Music Business Seminar their final four semesters, which gives them an opportunity to meet a wide variety of professionals who work in some area of the music industry. Music Business Seminar students must also complete a term project each semester that provides an opportunity to pull together and apply what they have learned from all of their other courses. These semester projects and other coursework are compiled in a required portfolio that can be useful in documenting acquired knowledge and skills for future employers. Music Business majors have the option of attending the Contemporary Music Center on Martha's Vineyard for one semester in their Junior and Senior Year (subject to space availability). Finally, all Music Business majors must also complete an internship, which provides further practical experience in preparation for their future career.
