JCC will now offer an Associate in Science degree in music industry on the Jamestown Campus.

The program was reviewed and approved by the State University of New York and the New York State Education Department.

The music industry degree program prepares students for transfer to a four-year baccalaureate degree in music business or a related field, with the ultimate goal of finding employment in one or more areas within the modern music industry. It also serves the student interested in an associate’s degree as a terminal degree before pursuing employment in the music industry.

"This program will be a great place to start for the student interested in embarking on an exciting and fulfilling career in the multifaceted world of today's music business,” notes Neil Flory, associate professor and coordinator of the music program.

“The music industry degree will set students up to go in many different future directions,” Dr. Flory adds. “It’s another tremendous educational opportunity alongside our long-standing degree programs in fine arts: music and digital audio production.”

Articulation agreements with four-year institutions enable JCC graduates to transfer seamlessly into degree programs associated with music and the arts.

JCC’s music program has long provided opportunities for JCC and high school students as well as community members to perform each semester in choral, band, and rock ensembles.
