UGA's Music Business Program began in January 2006 as an
interdisciplinary certificate program organized and operated by the
University's Terry College of Business and the Hugh Hodgson School of
Music in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. Students take
seven classes, a mix of basic business and music courses, including
the music business I and II courses designed by co-directors Steve
Dancz and Bruce Burch.
In addition to guest lectures from prominent figures in the music
industry, students gain real-world music industry experience through
externships with record labels, promoters, studios and other
entertainment companies. Students are also asked to find local artists
with potential and promote them through their student-run record
labels.
Applications are now being taken for fall semester of 2008. Details at:
