UNA Department of Entertainment Industry

The Department of Entertainment Industry is a stand-alone department in the College of Arts and Sciences. It is an outgrowth of the interdisciplinary Entertainment Industry Center and was formed in January, 2009 to address an increasingly diverse entertainment industry and serve students better. The Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) approved the new degree program with two options in its June, 2010 meeting. The department moved to a new facility in Downtown Florence on Tombigbee Street in Fall, 2012. This new facility houses departmental and faculty offices, recording studio, MIDI lab, classrooms and a 450 capacity fully outfitted performance venue.
