WELCOME TO CMC NASHVILLE

A leader in world-class experiential education

CMC NASHVILLE prepares college-aged students for careers in the entertainment industry, challenging them to live out their faith as Christ-followers. Choose from one of three tracks (Artist, Business, Worship Creative Arts or Technical) and experience an education that is practical, real-world and led by working professionals. Expect to be mentored, encouraged and challenged by faculty who care about your career and you as a person.

Here’s how it works….

Spend 15 weeks with working professionals and 30 other students just like yourself. Learn by doing, not reading books or taking tests. Write songs, record, and produce a weekly showcase. Learn from our faculty as they exemplify Christ-centered integrity in their own fields, within the entertainment industry. At the end of the semester, pack everything up and go on tour…THAT’S your final exam. Come back, become an official CMC Alum, participate in our iNashville Internship program and then start your first industry job!
