knowledge of the industry and basic managerial
and technical skills. It is this demand
for which the Music Industry Communications
program at Calhoun Community College
is designed.
The purpose of this major program is to
prepare students for entry- and middle-level
positions in virtually any phase of the industry,
from the marketing of recordings to audio
engineering. The Music Industry Communications
program was designed with consultation
and advice from the college’s Mass
Communications Advisory Committee. Calhoun

opportunity to develop his or her talents in
many areas that touch upon the recording
industry. To enhance the student’s academic
program, the college has a professional,
16 track analog and 16 track digital studio
