The Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI) at Berklee College of Music is the world's premier institute for practical application of music industry knowledge and skills, with a focus on live events and touring.
The Berklee Popular Music Institute (BPMI) offers BPMI Live, a unique three-semester experiential education program, which Billboard Magazine has named one of the top music business programs in the world. BPMI Live students apply the foundational knowledge learned in their classrooms to experiences on tour at some of the largest music festivals in the world. Participants in the prestigious program interface with all facets of the music industry, including A&R, artist development, booking, promotion, social media, sponsorship, and touring.
“BPMI was the first opportunity at Berklee that really opened my eyes to the possibility of live entertainment being a career. It allowed me to be curious and learn at my own pace, as well as curate relationships with people I now work with still to this day in the touring industry."
—Lauren Clark '23, Assistant Tour Manager, BTS / Assistant Road Manager, Lady Gaga
