Humber’s Music Business graduate certificate program is offered twice per year, allowing you, the student,  to select the delivery that best suits your schedule. 

The summer accelerated program begins in early May with in-class sessions ending in late August. From late August to late December, you will work alongside at your intern placement, completing 300 hours with your employer.

Or you may opt for the traditional September through May delivery, with your work placement being performed from May to August. However you decide to learn, the material in both intakes is identical - the major difference being the rate at which the material is delivered to you.

No matter the method of delivery, the Music Business program prepares you for employment in numerous areas of the music industry, offering a unique combination of theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as entrepreneurial, business and project management skills. You will study the structure of the Canadian music industry, artist and venue management, contracts, licensing and copyright, national and international distribution, marketing, promotion, and sales. You will develop foundational music business expertise, including communication and interpersonal skills, to prepare you for the demands the industry makes. These skills are taught by Humber's experienced faculty - all current or past music business professionals - as well as a slate of experts who will instruct you on how to interact with diverse teams, audiences, and colleagues. Opportunities for applied work and industry connections are important components of the program.
