The college offers certificate and bachelor's degree programs in Commercial Music Performance (Guitar Bass, Drums, Vocals) Commercial Songwriting, and Music Industry Studies. DIME initially partnered with the Falmouth University to validate it's BA courses. In March 2016 a partnership with Metropolitan State University in Denver was announced.

DIME was founded by Kevin Nixon and Sarah Clayman. The Beringea Group invested 3 million dollars in DIME to help it open. Prior to founding DIME, Nixon and Clayman were part of a team that owned and managed the for-profit British and Irish Modern Music (BIMM) Institute.[1][2][3][4]
