The program grew in both size and reputation, leading to the advent of the full Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business in 2003.

Currently home to more than 2,700 undergraduates with majors in music business, audio engineering technology, entertainment industry studies, sport administration, songwriting, media studies and motion pictures, Curb College boasts an impressive faculty of academic scholars and authors, entrepreneurs, songwriters, producers, journalists, filmmakers, sound and recording engineers and entertainment executives. The college serves as a world leader in music business and entertainment industry education and is the only freestanding college of its kind.
