Belmont University
Belmont University, founded in 1890, has built its national reputation around its Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business, one of the most respected music industry business programs in the country, drawing directly on the university's location in Nashville, the center of the American country and Christian music industries. The university's proximity to Nashville's Music Row gives students in the entertainment and music business program direct access to internships and networking within record labels, publishing houses, and artist management companies clustered within walking distance of campus. Belmont's continued Christian institutional affiliation, formerly with the Tennessee Baptist Convention before the university became independently governed in 2007, shapes aspects of its campus culture even as the school has grown into a larger, more academically comprehensive university over recent decades. The university's specific niche in entertainment and music industry education, combined with its direct physical proximity to the businesses that industry comprises, has made Belmont one of the most distinctive destination universities in the country for students specifically pursuing music business or entertainment industry careers.
VS
Fisk University
Fisk University, founded in 1866 just months after the end of the Civil War specifically to educate formerly enslaved people, is one of the oldest historically Black colleges and universities in the country, and its Fisk Jubilee Singers, formed in 1871, helped introduce the traditional spiritual musical genre to international audiences through pioneering world tours. The Jubilee Singers' historic 19th-century tours, which raised funds that helped save the young university from financial collapse, are credited with popularizing the spiritual as a distinct American musical form and remain one of the most historically significant achievements in the university's founding decades. Fisk's science programs have produced a disproportionately high number of Black scientists relative to the university's small size, including alumni central to the university's celebrated tradition of educational impact well beyond its modest enrollment numbers. The university's Carl Van Vechten Gallery holds one of the most significant collections of African American art at any HBCU, a gift connected to Fisk's historical ties to the Harlem Renaissance, and Fisk's combination of a foundational HBCU history, significant musical legacy, and distinctive art collection has made it one of the most culturally significant HBCUs in the country.
