Monmouth University was again selected as one of Billboard\u2019s Top Music Business Schools<\/a> for its 2023 list. Schools are selected through \u201cexecutive recommendations, alumni information provided by honorees from [Billboard\u2019s] multiple power lists, information requested from each school and a decade of reporting on these programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re delighted to once again be included on this international list of esteemed and well-established university programs,\u201d said Joe Rapolla, specialist professor and chair of the Music and Theatre Arts department. \u201cThis continues to validate that our program offerings, student experience, and approach are unique and particularly relevant. This is evident in our outcomes, and the success of our graduates, which Billboard recognizes each year.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its profile of Monmouth, Billboard highlights its \u201chybrid model\u201d music industry program that combines coursework from the Leon Hess Business School with the University\u2019s music and music business curriculum, preparing students for a range of opportunities in the industry. In addition to being home of the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music, Monmouth \u201cincorporates hands-on activities like its student-run record label, Blue Hawk Records, and leverages partnerships with major music organizations, tech companies, agencies and a state-of-the-art recording complex in Asbury Park.\u201d Just last year, after releasing a new album for Blue Hawk Records, the founding members of Monmouth Artists for Diversity & Inclusion were awarded a joint senatorial and gubernatorial proclamation from the State of New Jersey for contributions to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It remains our mission to stay aligned with the ever-evolving music industry, and continue to partner with our students to prepare them for the growing base of opportunities that exist within it,” Rapolla added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Billboard\u2019s list, which prioritizes more affordable institutions and strives for geographic diversity, concludes that \u201cthose attending any of Billboard\u2019s top music business schools will be solidly positioned to pursue careers in an increasingly complex music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
