What it is	This program teaches you the business and administrative side of the music industry: things like managing artists, running concert venues, booking tours, and handling budgets for music organizations. Unlike a pure music performance or composition program, you learn management and organizational skills alongside music knowledge. It suits people who love music but want careers in the business operations and planning that make the music world run.	Commerce is a broad business degree covering accounting, finance, management, and marketing alongside core business concepts. You'll study how organizations operate financially and strategically across different functions. It suits people who want a flexible business foundation before specializing, rather than committing to accounting or finance alone from day one.
