I attend Drake University in Des Moines Iowa and I really like it here but now I am currently majoring in Broadcast News and I want to switch to music business. The only music business Drake has is a Music degree with a focus on business and I have to do recitals and take a bunch of theory classes and thats not for me. I need a school that actually has a music business degree and preferably with a international business degree also so I can get a dual degree. Any suggestions??
One of the few legitimate schools which offers a music business degree is Indiana
University-Southeast in New Albany. Surprisingly the program is offered there and not at the more well-known school of music at IU in Bloomington. IU-SE does offer a business degree. You might be able to create an individual major to combine the subjects or to do a double major. You are looking for an unusual objective and will need to be creative in obtaining it.
I have not checked the course offerings at IU-SE in international business or how extensive the music requirements are.
Another plan might be to earn the music business bachelor’s degree at IU-SE and then earn an MBA in international business at another university. Any really worthwhile instruction in the latter field is probably most likely found at the graduate level. I would also suggest that you learn the languages of the countries where you will pursue this career.
Good luck.

I know that Butler University in IN has a great music department. see what they offer in music business.
at any school you probably are going to be required to do some theory and music classes for this major

Columbia College in Chicago has a large program in Arts and Entertainment Media Management. You can specialize in any kind of talent management (music, sports, acting, etc.), and the program focuses on management skills rather than the area of arts or entertainmnet. The college does a really good job of integrating student experiences and providing real-life experiences. Some of these experiences could be internships at major Chicago talent agencies, and some of them will be managing a student musician. It’s an interesting school.
