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.
This program is offered in an accelerated format twice per year, allowing you to select the timing that best suits your schedule: start in May to complete your coursework by August and your field experience in the fall, or start in September to complete coursework by December and your field experience during the winter.
The Field Experience course serves as the vital link between academic learning and real-world application. With the help of a dedicated career & work-integrated learning advisor to offer personalized guidance and support, students will secure their own Field Experience opportunity.
In Semester 3 of the program, students immerse themselves in the Field Experience course, committing 300 hours of practical application within the field. Whether pursuing paid or unpaid opportunities, all experiences undergo approval by your career & work-integrated learning advisor to ensure relevance.
