<p>I know that Cornell has a Hotel school, but I can’t find a similar program in the UC system. I am not sure where you would go in the UCs if you were interested in studying a modern performance program like, blues, rock or jazz quitar. Am I missing some steller programs or do the UCs have gaps in what they offer. What gaps have you found and how would you fix them.</p>

<p>UCSC seems to offer a Jazz Minor, but don't think this is what were are really looking for. <a href="http://music.ucsc.edu/undergrad/jazz_minor.html%5B/url%5D">http://music.ucsc.edu/undergrad/jazz_minor.html</a></p>
<p>Check out UCLA for some great performance programs. UCB also offers some, although I'm not sure how good it is. </p>
<p>The UCs seem to try to offer everything well, to be all around schools.</p>
