Overview
The Music Industry minor is intended to provide students with an introduction to the history, theory, and practice of music as a calling and a business; and to provide opportunities for students to work with practitioners on real-world projects in the music industry.
Entry to the Minor
To apply to the minor, transfer students must have completed a minimum of one term of residency at UCLA, and students admitted as first years must have completed a minimum of three terms of residency at UCLA. Students must be in good academic standing with an overall grade-point average of at least 2.0.
In addition, students who are not enrolled in a major within the Herb Alpert School of Music must complete at least one performance or ensemble course selected from Ethnomusicology 91A through 91Z, Global Jazz Studies 176A through 176G, Music M90T, C185A through C186C prior to application to the minor. The performance requirement may also be fulfilled through successful completion of one course from Music Industry 91A, 91B, 111A, or 111B, or through an equivalent music industry course by petition.
