REMU-UT 1401 Developing a Business Pitch For Your Music Venture (Offered Fall '23):
The mission of the Professional Development Program is to provide professional development training, mentorship and relevant learning experiences for Recorded Music students in their senior year, to prepare them for independent careers as musicians, performers and founders, and to assist them in their pursuit and competition for jobs and leadership roles in the music industry. The PDP curriculum is organized around every student’s creation of a customized music business venture which, defined broadly, could be a start-up, live music event, career launch as a performer or songwriter, or job search. PDP is execution-focused and is meant to publicly convey each student’s personal/intellectual and artistic journey and who they are as an artist/entrepreneur/person at this stage of their career. The focus is on the acquisition of professional skills such as written and verbal communication, personal branding -online, in-person and through communications, and making a powerful first impression, as well as the creation of an e-portfolio website that will enable the student to stand out and more quickly land career -enhancing opportunities and jobs.

CSCI-GA 3812 Info Tech Projects:
This is a capstone course that connects students directly with real-world information technology problems. The goal of this course is to teach the skills needed for success in real-world information technology via a combination of classroom lectures and practical experience with large projects that have been specified by local “clients.” The typical clients are primarily companies, but can also be government agencies or nonprofit organizations. Each project lasts for the entire semester and is designed to involve the full software project life cycle. Examples of such projects are development of software to solve a business problem, including specifying requirements, writing and testing prototype code, and writing a final report; and evaluation of commercial software to be purchased to address a business problem, including gathering requirements, designing an architecture to connect the new software with existing systems, and assessing the suitability of available software products.
