LOS ANGELES - (Business Wire) Major U.S. universities that are at last beginning to recognize popular music as a degree-worthy field of study are finally catching up with Musicians Institute (www.mi.edu) in Hollywood, California, which has been offering career-oriented contemporary music performance degrees for the past fifteen years.

But unlike programs that offer contemporary music only as an emphasis within a traditional academic degree, MI’s world-renowned Bachelor of Music program was designed from the bottom up to be different. The unique curriculum includes the best elements of intensive, hands-on training in today’s popular music along with in-depth education in the musical concepts and traditions that preceded it.

Since MI launched the degree in 1994, the National Association of Schools of Music-accredited institution has equipped hundreds of talented students for successful careers in a wide array of high-profile positions.

Alumni success stories are endless and include thriving singer-songwriters; composers for film; television and stage musicals; members of the U.S. Army Band; creators of music libraries for film and TV licensing; sound engineers; professional educators; and musicians touring with superstar artists like Mariah Carey and Rihanna. Bachelor grads join a long list of successful MI alumni including such notable artists as Weezer guitarists Rivers Cuomo and Brian Bell; Chad Smith and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the late Jeff Buckley.

MI’s Bachelor degree offers the perfect educational experience for music students who don’t wish to follow the traditional college path. MI’s focus on performing and career skills taught by working music professionals provides practical preparation for life after graduation. Students learn how to handle the day-to-day challenges of a music career and are judged by professional standards, making the transition from student to pro as seamless as possible. The program also includes comprehensive studies in music theory and history as well as general education for a depth and scope comparable to any first-rate university program.

Still another compelling advantage to MI is summed up by the old real-estate mantra: location, location, location! MI students study in Hollywood at the heart of the professional music industry – not only can they begin career networking the minute they hit town, but there’s no need to relocate after graduation.
