Music Industry Jobs & Career Opportunities

Our music business programs open up a wide range of job opportunities for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit and solid business training. There is no typical career path but here are just a few examples:

Work for yourself as an independent artist manager or booking agent.
Manage artist appearances for a radio or TV station.
As an agent, promoter or publicist, make sure your artists get the exposure they need to succeed.
As a business manager, see that the checks go out (and come in), that contracts protect all parties and that all of the pieces come together.
Manage audio operations for any organization.
Identify and sign on talent as a music buyer or director.

How to get a music industry job

This is a competitive field. You need to be ready to create opportunities for yourself. When you get an interview, go in with a solid portfolio, ready to demonstrate your enthusiasm and your knowledge. A music business degree is a good start, it is almost necessary to have some hands-on industry experience and relationships carry a lot of weight.

Music industry jobs & career-focused college programs

There are only few degree programs that specifically target the entertainment and music industry jobs. Globe University offers both two-year and four-year options:

Associate in Applied Science in Music Business. This 2-year degree program provides hands-on practice in practical skills—analyzing contracts and copyrights, audio production, comparing forms of music licensing, artist promotion—under the guidance of seasoned music industry pros.
Bachelor of Science in Business Management: Music Business. An elective emphasis in the 4-year business management program, this program provides a strong base of general business coursework followed by topics that apply specifically to the music industry.

Our school also provides life-long job-search assistance, not just in the music industry. It is our goal to help you achieve your dreams. Interested? Call us toll-free at 1-877-303-6060 or contact college admissions for more information.
