Contemporary Music Center


The Contemporary Music Center (CMC) provides students the opportunity to live and work in community while seeking to understand how God will have them integrate music, faith, and business. Both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in nature, the CMC offers three tracks: the Artist Track, the Business Track, and the Technical Track. The Artist Track is tailored to students considering careers as vocalists, musicians, songwriters, recording artists, performers, producers, and recording engineers. The Business Track is designed for business, arts management, marketing, communications, and related majors interested in possible careers as artist managers, agents, record company executives, music publishers, concert promoters, and entertainment industry entrepreneurs. The Technical Track is geared toward studio recording, audio engineering, concert production, and road tours.

All students receive instruction, experience, and a uniquely Christian perspective on creativity and the marketplace while working together to create and market a recording of original music. All tracks include course work, labs, directed study, and a practicum. Contact CCU’s Life Directions Center for CCU-specific application procedures and courses available.

Students accepted in the Contemporary Music Center may earn a CCU Contemporary Music minor. More information can be found on the Contemporary Music Minor page.

The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU), an association of more than 185 campuses around the world, offers off-campus study programs to students of its member institutions. The programs offer a unique opportunity for students to make the world their classroom, going beyond the confines of the traditional classroom. These interdisciplinary learning opportunities are available to upper-class students. For further information, contact CCU’s Life Directions Center (LDC) for CCU-specific application procedures.
