Commercial Music at ISU

The ISU Music Department is thrilled to present our brand-new bachelor's degree in Commercial Music! The Commercial Music program prepares graduates for careers in today's music world. This is the only Commercial Music program in the state of Idaho and it's one of the most demanding and innovative degrees in the region.

 

Students study performance, recording, mixing, production, composition, arranging, band-leading, and multi-disciplinary collaboration. The student-centered curriculum builds toward a capstone project in the student's senior year. Majors must create and produce an original full-length album or a similar large-scale project. The capstone project is the culmination of everything they learn at ISU, and it is something they can utilize to further their own careers after graduation. Students retain full rights and ownership of all materials filmed and recorded at ISU as part of this program
