Description

The Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries (Recording and Allied Entertainment Industries (RA) is a multidisciplinary program housed within the Setnor School of Music in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree, and includes an understanding of music, communications, business, and entrepreneurship. It provides a global view of music and its role in entertainment media. The program relies on additional coursework in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, the Whitman School of Management, and the College of Arts and Sciences. A strong liberal arts component rounds out the program. Using industry-leading alumni and friends, plus the University’s vast resources, this unique program prepares students to compete in the fast-paced, ever-evolving entertainment industry.

The Bandier Program has been designed with input from some of the most respected executives in music and entertainment. These high-ranking leaders, many of whom are alumni, are committed to ongoing involvement as visiting lecturers in the Soyars Leadership Lecture Series.
