Musically inclined students now have the chance to play live music on campus and earn course credit.
Students interested in the internship must be enrolled in MUS M80, Internship in Music, a one-unit credit course that requires 60 hours of live music planned on campus. After successfully completing the internship and each required course, students will receive their Music Tech Certificate and be more prepared for the music industry.
Although the majority of performers are interested in electronic music and DJ’ing, a variety of genres can be played. “You don’t need to be a DJ,” Nathan Bowen said, director of the program. Bowen urged students with music as their major, and those interested, in enrolling in the certificate program and the internship.
