Overview:
Successful music business candidates are expected to be highly motivated and prepared to take advantage of a professional program set in the world's music business capital. In addition to providing structured courses, the curriculum promotes individual choices and development through an interactive classroom atmosphere, internships, participation in our record company, Village Records, and completion of research requirements. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities such as the Program Board, radio station WNYU and the NYU MEISA (Music & Entertainment Industry Student Association).
Registration:
Students are able to take classes in the program however the pre-requisite class for undergrads is E85.022, Business Structure of the Music Industry (2 pts). There is a section for non-majors in the Fall, and in the Spring and Summer as well. For summer, students don't need an access code -- they can just register on Albert. The policy and procedure for registration is on the "request by non-majors" form. Students can pick up this form at the the Music Business Program (Room 1241 of 35 West 4th Street) where they can also turn in. If there is space in a Music Business class, the department will issue an access code.
Sometimes the department does not know until the first week of classes whether there will be space for non-majors, but some classes usually have space. The earlier students can submit the form, the better. Non-majors can take up to a maximum of three Music Business classes, but the department can not guarantee that they can take three.
