Prerequisites
The music major at Baruch College includes the study of music theory,
literature, history, and musicianship, in preparation for graduate study in
music or for a career in the music industry through the Management of
Musical Enterprises program. Students take a core of courses in music
theory and history and then select from a variety of electives in subjects
ranging from western historical style periods to specialized studies in
particular aspects of music in culture and society.
Baruch students may choose to specialize in the Management of Musical
Enterprises, combining the study of music with the study of business
fields such as accounting, advertising, marketing, and management. They
can follow this course of study either as a music major, pursuing a
Bachelor of Arts degree, or while working toward a Bachelor of Business
Administration degree with a major in a business subject. This places them
on a track toward a career in the music industry, working for profit-making
businesses such as record companies or music publishers, or with non-profit
institutions such as symphony orchestras. The music management curriculum
includes credits from both the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and from
the School of Business, and participation in the Internship Program of the
Department of Fine and Performing Arts. Music management students are not
required to complete a minor concentration.
