Belmont's bread and butter is attracting tons of people that will never make it in the music biz and promising them the moon. These people may land internships, but that will be it 99% of the time. I always joked that you could walk down music row and say,"hey, I'm a Belmont student looking for an internship" and people would smile and invite you in for coffee. Now go say,"I'm a Belmont grad looking for a job" and the door slams in your face. Hahaha. Lastly I will say that the "business degree" you earn is an accredited Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration. Just hope no employer outside of the biz asks to see your transcripts because your degree will instantly be criticized and deemed a joke. I have had many Belmont grad friends/Nashville washouts say that when their prospective employers found out their BA was from The Mike Curb College of Entertainment they were very skeptical. My advice...either get a degree in something worthy or scratch your way into the biz. I don't know enough about MTSU to recommend them but I had interns at Sony with me that went to school there...for A LOT LESS MONEY. Good luck!

I did not make friends here. Remember that most of the people who attend Belmont are trying to succeed in the music business - they tend to be highly "public image-conscious" people.

I'll be honest, I haven't experienced the college much yet, but here's what's struck me: Positives: -My particular program is top notch -Honors let me get some great classes -Nashville is cool -Met some great people, especially through Greek Life Negatives: -FALL FOLLIES: everybody loves these satirical plays about the school. I can take a satire play and cynical jokes, but they hit hard when poking fun at a program I'm paying an arm and leg to be in. -I've talked to several professionals I know or have met, and the general consensus is that you DO NOT need a degree in music/music business/AET to do well. What you do seem to need is talent, personal skills, money to fund your goals, drive, and an image (sadly). One added that he got a non music degree in counseling (his other passion) so he'd have a fall back once he retires from music. After hearing these comments from numerous professionals, I started to question my time here. Bottom line, I'm considering transferring to an in state school back home and getting a traditional economics/business degree before I start missing my savings or home state too much. I can definitely see myself living in Nashville, but going to Belmont for 4 years? Not too sure how I feel about it. Education Quality: A+, Scholastic Success: C Have a Question?
