Well, some schools offer actual degrees in music business (either a music degree with a specialization in business, or vice-versa) – see the link below, for instance. Also, the University of Miami offers a music business degree. But for a general BA program at the average school, a basic business major would certainly give you some skills that could make you useful to the music industry. A lot of it will come down to your social network, so whatever you can do to meet the “right” people and get known is probably the most important thing. You might consider starting with a small indie label, perhaps even as a volunteer or intern.
