Earn a College Degree from Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine

Music moguls and Beats by Dre founders Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine have recently launched a partnership with the University of Southern California, one that will offer a unique bachelor’s degree that will help in developing the next generation of innovators. Having donated a combined $70 million USD to establish the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy for the Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation, this program plans to accept 25-30 new students each year with a focus on invention and conceptual thinking, drawing on the talents and influences of leaders from across various creative industries.

For a better understanding of the program, HYPETRAK spoke with Arjun Mehta – a freshmen in the inaugural class – about his experience thus far and what will come in the next three years. To read Mehta’s letter as well as to learn more about Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine’s program, please visit HYPETRAK.
