A new school has been setup that will begin student enrollment in the fall of
2021. The school – entirely focused on entertainment and sports – is called Roc
Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment. It is a conglomeration of Long Island University-Brooklyn
and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
Students who wish to participate in this unprecedented venture will be able
to choose from undergraduate degrees in music; music technology,
entrepreneurship and production; and sports management. According to Roc Nation CEO, Desiree Perez:
“Pursuing higher education is an investment in one’s future. This partnership, envisioned alongside [LIU President Kimberly] Cline, is a true investment in our community and young people in Brooklyn, in New York City and beyond. We’re excited that the Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment will provide unique insight, knowledge, and experiences for students and introduce the world to the next generation of unmatched talent.”
Twenty-five percent of students will be eligible for a Roc Nation Hope
Scholarship.
