Delta State University and the Delta Music Institute (DMI) are excited to announce the final approval for the Bachelor of Science in Music Industry Studies (BS-MIS) degree to be offered beginning in the fall of 2011! Click here for equipment requirements.

Music Industry Studies: The music industry studies program at the DMI is intended to develop a broad range of skills in audio engineering technology and music industry entrepreneurship that will give students a foundational base of knowledge for working in various music industry careers.

The DMI is an independent center under the College of Arts & Sciences at DSU. Our mission is to provide our students with a broad and thorough education in the technological, creative, and business areas of the music and entertainment industries.

The Delta Music Institute began with a generous donation by Fred Carl of the Viking Range Corporation in 2003. The DMI offers a Bachelor of Science in Music Industry Studies degree, two concentrations of music and entertainment industry courses leading to a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies degree, and a concentration of courses in sound recording technology leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree with an emphasis in Sound Recording Technology (SRT). Whether producing their own art or the art of others, our alumni will be well prepared for the technical, business, and legal issues that confront the practicing artist today and in the future. (Read More)
