About the course
The major is designed to welcome students who are passionate about music, the technology surrounding it, and who love to fashion music their own way and meticulously polish it until it sounds awesome coming out of speakers.
It differs from many recording degrees in several key ways: 1) It is a creativity based technology degree, that utilizes a hands on learning approach, and focuses on learning about technology by applying it toward the creation of original compositions. 2) It provides a solid background in music theory, aural skills, history, and ensemble performance, to create literate graduates with a broad spectrum of career choices. 3) It is a Swiss Army Knife degree with supporting courses in art, web design, dance, sound for theater, computer programming and psychology? To prepare you for recording, composition, graduate studies in both, research in music cognition, theater sound and web design, post production etc? Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
