Specialist in Music Industry and Technology (Joint with Centennial College) HBA, HBA
The Specialist (Joint) program in Music Industry and Technology is a 4-year, undergraduate program that is Jointly offered by the University of Toronto and Centennial College. It allows students to earn an Honours Bachelor of Arts (H.B.A.) degree from the University of Toronto and an Ontario College Certificate in Music Business and Technology from Centennial. The Centennial College Certificate will only be offered in conjunction with this Joint Specialist. The new program aims to provide long-term career preparation by offering practical, career-oriented courses in music business and technology, as well as their industry connections, in order to meet the needs of students from different cultural, social, and musical backgrounds who seek a combination of broad-based knowledge that can adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of music, business and technology and career-ready skills. The program requires 15.5 credits, of which 7.5 credits are taught at UTSC and 8.0 credits are taught at Centennial. In year two of the Specialist students choose from two possible Centennial Certificate options: Audio Engineering; or Music Business. Students will complete an internship through Centennial in year three and a UTSC capstone course in year four. Enrolment in the program is limited. Although students will enter directly from high-school, there is also a pathway for students who have already begun their studies at UTSC.
