Title of Motion: Request from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts – School of Music – for the establishment of an undergraduate certificate – Music Entrepreneurship.

Action Requested: This curricular proposal has received all college, school, unit and university administrative approvals, and is being presented to the Senate for review and voting decision.

Rationale:  The Music Entrepreneurship Certificate will provide students the skills and tools necessary to create sustainable careers in the 21st century. The certificate program will welcome and accommodate all students (music majors and non-majors who
