Kennesaw State University Parent Guide
Joel A. Katz Music and Entertainment Business Program at KSU
Kennesaw State University has hired some of Georgia’s most renowned music industry veterans to launch its new certificate program in music and entertainment business. Bruce Burch, a successful songwriter and publisher who founded the music business program at the University of Georgia, has been named director of KSU’s new Music and Entertainment Business (MEBUS) Certificate Program.
A major gift from prominent Atlanta entertainment attorney, Joel A. Katz, of Greenberg Traurig LLP, has significantly helped launch the program. The multidisciplinary program –– a joint effort between KSU’s College of the Arts and the university’s Coles College of Business –– will allow business, music and other majors to become proficient in areas such as financial accounting and music theory, as well as the fundamentals and emerging trends in the music and entertainment business. KSU’s College of the Arts is one of only three fully accredited arts colleges in the state and the Coles College is one of the top business schools in the Southeast.
With the establishment of the Joel A. Katz Music and Entertainment Business Program, Kennesaw State is positioned to be a major resource to this vibrant, growing music and entertainment industry.
