For years, the music industry was made up of specialists. Tasks were compartmentalized and rarely did one hand know what the other was doing. Over the last 15 years, this has changed dramatically. New trends dictate that artists must have a stronger hold on the business aspects of the industry and businesspeople must be able to hold their own technologically. To be successful, a broad skill set and an entrepreneurial spirit are crucial.
The Music Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology program at the University of the Arts is focused on charting these new and ever churning waters. We strongly believe that to succeed in the 21st Century, one must be as adept at reading a contract as they are at recording a drum set. We think that the scope of music business and technology is as wide and exciting as it has ever been, and an entrepreneurial spirit is the key to combining these skills effectively.
By providing an environment where students can experiment freely with all aspects of the industry, the MBET program enables students to “not only learn how to ride a bike, but also know how to build one”. In other words, we provide students with a detailed understanding of all the aspects of the industry so they can discover where they best fit in. All this, housed in a 100% arts-based university filled with creators from a variety of other disciplines, enables students to learn, network and thrive in a metropolitan university setting.
