Schools That Rock
Number 3 on Rolling Stone's Schools that Rock list is: Wayne State. Hey, I knew we rocked. But do we roll?

The Motor City certainly isn't the prettiest town, but who said rock & roll is supposed to be pretty? Perhaps thanks to all the urban squalor, Detroit has churned out some of the grittiest rock, hip-hop, soul and techno acts of the past forty years. As for the city's academic offerings, Wayne State University has a music-management program that introduces students to the study of marketing and promotion but also includes course work in independent record production and grant writing.

Who are you calling squalor! Ruins are beautiful.
And sure, music mangement is good and all that, but English is where it's at (ahem). So all you hipsters looking to earn your chops on a PhD (apply) or looking for a job if you got a Phd (apply to our position we will post again this Fall) and who just have to rock (we salute you), you know where to go.

Btw - the girl's hometown made number 4.
