About the program

Commercial Music (Songwriting) at Liberty University will equip you with the skills you need to pursue your calling.

Here at Liberty, we believe music should be both artistic and worshipful, and our bachelor’s degree in commercial songwriting will give you the tools you need to achieve both. Our mission is to prepare you to lead with excellence and integrity in the music industry wherever God calls you – as a Christian singer and songwriter or as a writer of production music for television shows.

You will also work one-on-one with a professor to improve your songwriting ability. During your senior year, you will showcase your skills in a senior project and complete an internship with an organization of your choice.
