Overview

This State University of New York Plattsburgh's Music Arts Management interdisciplinary program will give you a taste of virtually every department on campus. With courses ranging from music theory, music history, to business management, you will be well prepared to work in the music industry.

Rather than concentrating in any one department, you will study within the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Business and Economics. The degree is also designed to make adding a minor or second major for specialization easy, and you will still be able to graduate on time in four years. For example, add a minor in:

Theatrical & entertainment technology
