2026 Industry Sessions

Industry sessions are introductory-level classes designed for aspiring creatives and emerging professionals who want to develop foundational skills in music, content creation, and the music industry.

Ideal Candidate

We encourage applications from individuals who are curious, motivated, and eager to learn. No advanced experience is required — only a passion for music and creativity, openness to collaboration, and commitment to attending all sessions.

Participants can choose to take each session for credit or non-credit. Acceptance is based on motivation, availability, and fit for the program.

Graduate Extension Credit

Industry sessions now offer the option to earn a Graduate Extension Credit through the University of San Diego in collaboration with Inspire EDU. Graduate Extension Credits are university-recognized professional development credits designed for working professionals who want to strengthen their knowledge, advance in their careers, and meet continuing education or credentialing requirements.

Details & Benefits

• Credit is awarded on a Pass/Fail basis and approved by the industry sessions educator at the end of the course.

• Participants who successfully complete the course will receive one graduate-level unit, documented on an official University of San Diego transcript (mailed directly from the Office of Continuing Education).

• Each unit represents 12.5 hours of learning.

• Credits are recommended for use toward continued professional learning, credential maintenance, or salary scale increases (depending on district/state requirements).

• Units may also be considered toward graduate-level continued education. Applicants should consult their graduate admissions counselor for guidance.

• Gain formal academic recognition for your participation in GRAMMY Museum programming, adding value to both your professional and academic portfolio.

• Flexible online learning designed to support career growth in the music and education fields.
