Description:Music moves us. Studying music can mean advancing your musicianship as well as your critical understanding of music and its context. The Bachelor of Arts with Specialization in Music Administrative Studies program is the only one of its kind in Canada and prepares you for management positions in various fields within the music industry, such as: music publishing, instrument manufacturing, music/arts management, production and distribution of recorded music, manufacturing of electronic music equipment, and the marketing of music products.

This degree, jointly offered by the Department of Music Research and Composition and the Management and Organizational Studies (MOS) program of the Faculty of Science, combines central elements of both programs to create an interdisciplinary atmosphere for the study of music management. You're welcome to apply whether you have a ‘classical’ or ‘pop’ background. Through electives, you'll be able to customize the program to concentrate on either popular music or classical music or you can blend the two areas together.
