Music is integral to a multitude of businesses.

Entrepreneurial students can benefit from this major as a conduit to working in the music industry.

To be considered for admittance into the music program at Illinois State, one must have extensive background in classical music and must complete a classical music audition.

In addition to the core music requirements, students need to complete 25 hours of coursework in the School of Music and the nationally recognized College of Business.
