Looking for a 2-credit class to round out your spring schedule? Love the music of Taylor Swift? Then you should register for MUS408 Current and Future Issues in the Music Industry (MW 2:20-3:20 pm, Scott LeGere). This spring this topics course will focus on “Taylor Swift: The Myth of Genius and the Repeatability of Success.”
Don’t have any background in music business? No problem! We won’t be talking about the music business per se, but about resilience, courage, community, and other career development related issues. The material should be relevant and fun for a wide variety of students. Our text will be a recent release from Harvard Business Review, “There’s Nothing Like This: The Strategic Genius of Taylor Swift” along with some other materials.
For questions or more information please reach out to Scott LeGere: legere@augsburg.edu
