best undergraduate college for entertainment business

<p>i know most colleges don’t have specific entertainment business majors, but considering the aspects of entertainment business, which schools should I look into…nyu’s stern, umich’s ross, usc’s marshall…any others??</p>

<p>What do you want to do in entertainment? TV, Music, film? PR, Executive, Agent, Producer? Its a broad industry.</p>

<p>o i’m sorry! i must have left it out by accident because every time i add the words “entertainment agent” in a thread, the thread dies.</p>

<p>entertainment agent</p>

<p>USC or UCLA film school. Then the Ivies or Stanford.</p>

<p>USC on the west coast, NYU on the east, and UT Austin in the middle</p>

<p>but i am not interested just yet in actual film production and do not have adequate experience in the cinema to get into top film schools like usc and nyu, so i was looking more towards the business and law aspects of entertainment so i can become an agent…still NYU and USC would be the best schools for that…?</p>

<p>Drexel University has an [Entertainment</a> Arts Management](<a href=“http://www.drexel.edu/westphal/academics/undergraduate/eam/"]Entertainment”>Entertainment & Arts Management Program | Drexel Westphal) program that might be of interest.</p>

<p>USC has a joint Film/Business program that grants a dual degree from Marshall and the School of Cinematic Arts.</p>

<p>It’s extremely selective, but it will pretty much guarantee you a job in Hollywood after graduation. The programs graduates are highly saught after by the biggest studios, entertainment companies, and talent management agencies.</p>

<p>Anywhere that allows you to sharpen your social skills while giving you a solid degree…</p>

<p>Join a fraternity or something and I’m sure that will help - organizing events, wooing people (during rush/social events), being in a social setting is something you’ll have to get used to if you want to pursue that lifestyle.</p>

<p>USC positions one well in the film business, as per the following example:</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annabel_Chong[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annabel_Chong&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>how much harder would it be to become an agent, a top agent, if you did not graduate from film school? because i know the USC joint degree is extremely selective…what are other options</p>

<p>USC has a business major with a specialization in Entertainment Business.</p>

<p>LMU also has a business major where you can specialized in entertainment or sports marketing. </p>

<p>And a UCLA communications degree would easily land you a job in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>And to become an agent you will most likely need an entertainment law degree, so undergrad isn’t really a big deal.</p>

<p>What about Miami?</p>

<p>Oh and Miami has a Media Management major.</p>

<p>wait…in a law school i’ll have to get an entertainment law degree…i thought i just got a JD…???</p>

<p>Well it’s a JD, but it would be most beneficial if you specialized in entertainment, or just take as many entertainment law classes as possible.</p>

<p>When going into entertainment, the name of your major does not matter nearly as much as the experiences you have had…</p>

<p>USC is perfect! Also, if you are not sure that you want to commit to the joint business-cinematic arts degree, you can always complete a business major with a minor in one of the many entertainment related minors at the school (i.e. Cinema-Television, Communication and the Entertainment Industry, Communication Law and Media Policy, Music Industry, News Media and Society, and more)</p>

<p>Wow, no one’s mentioned Belmont yet? Put me down for Belmont.</p>

<p>thanks…anyone else?</p>

<p>to minor in something do i have to be accepted to the college offering the minor as well?</p>
