Music Industry Studies

Our programs can teach you the business of music and how to properly capture and share your sound—and the sounds of others—with the world while still pushing you to sharpen your musical ability.

That way, no matter what area of the music industry you wish to pursue, you’ll be able to turn your passion into a career.

Undergraduate Degree Programs

Bachelor of Arts in Music Industry Studies

Music Composition

Music speaks to everyone in a language unto itself. Expressing its technical and emotional power takes fluency in the art and science of composition.

The Music Composition program will give you the knowledge to share your musical
voice freely, clearly, and confidently.

You’ll develop fundamental knowledge—control of melody, harmony, rhythm, and form—and learn to articulate musical ideas through analog and digital synthesis, recording technologies, songwriting, and yes, jazz composition. (This is New Orleans, after all.)

Jazz Studies

So you want to study jazz? We don’t think there’s anything cooler.

Jazz is America’s smoothest and most daring contribution to the world’s musical lexicon. And we have the oldest program in New Orleans dedicated to the study of its history and performance.
