What is the Music Business Program?
The UGA Music Business Program is a joint venture between the Terry College of Business and the Hodgson School of Music. The purpose of the Program is to develop business leaders for the music industry. By integrating content from a variety of disciplines, the Program will create an intellectual synergy beyond what students can achieve in either the current business or music programs separately. Success in the music business requires a broad array of knowledge from a variety of diverse fields. The UGA Music Business Program draws together these diverse and distinct areas of content into a coherent curriculum, providing students an opportunity that they otherwise would not have.
