The Bachelor of Science in Business degree with the Small Business Major - emphasis in Music is especially suited for those interested in music and/or retail sales.  Students interested in the areas of music and marketing will find a good market for music sales people, managers, and music store owners.  There are presently 6,000 retail music stores in the United States that employ thousands as sales clerks, managers, dealers, teachers, and repair technicians.  The sale of music and musical instruments has been steadily progressing and Christian music is currently the fastest growing market in the nation.
