Clive Davis gives $5 million to NYU

Record executive Clive Davis has donated $5 million to create a department of recorded music at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

Thanks to Davis, who graduated from NYU, the Tisch School said it will create the first degree in the country that focuses on record producing as an artistic discipline.

The Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music will offer a four-year undergraduate program that educates students in all aspects of contemporary recorded music.
