Our Mission

We provide an unparalleled education experience by creating an environment in which students thrive, and by answering this question…

WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR STUDENTS?

DHI’s unique model is changing the way education is conducted by creating a climate of possibility, and we do this at an affordable price.

Your Education

Our curriculum cuts out the fat and focuses on the skills needed to get a great job or to start your own music business.
You’ll master the information and technology required to succeed in your chosen field, and learn how to sell yourself to prospective employers.
You’ll leave Dark Horse with a résumé designed to powerfully communicate your goals and skills, and a portfolio that showcases your mastery either in the studio or the music business.
We keep tuition costs to the absolute minimum so that our students are not saddled with the crushing student debt normally incurred while obtaining a traditional 4-year degree.
We challenge our students to set personal and career goals and to charge after their vision without compromise.
