Master the Art of Audio Recording, Media, and Communication: Technology is an essential part of our relationship with sound. Recording studios, theaters, social media platforms, film and television production, stadiums, and game studios rely on the expertise of sound engineers to function. Contemporary compositions for popular artists, film, and orchestras are facilitated by the expanded capabilities of the latest musical interfaces. Our Bachelor of Arts degree in Music & Sound Recording is built around the philosophy that sound engineers should know the art form they are recording. To this end, our students take courses in three interrelated areas: music history, theory, and aesthetics; sound recording methodology and technique; and musicianship. Professional Guidance: A degree in Music & Sound Recording focuses on the art of working with sound. Our faculty are former and current engineers, producers, and composers with professional expertise that informs our curriculum. Across all the courses in our program, students receive foundational skills in the generation and manipulation of sound, applying those skills in a variety of ways. We believe that these competencies are best applied with an understanding of how music and sound function in the world. You will have opportunities to enhance your development with courses on the theory and history of music. Our instructors also serve as academic and career advisers, assisting students as they navigate four years of college and prepare for industry opportunities. Learn by Doing: Music & Sound Recording courses are held in our recording studios and music technology lab. Classes are capped at 16 students and feature cutting-edge learning environments, where instruction occurs as students engage with technology and make aesthetic decisions. Whether it's using the appropriate microphone or preamp, experimenting with synthesizers, or producing beats, students learn industry standards and develop their expressive voice. Our program and professors encourage students to be actively ambitious and to engage in real-world practices while learning. Our recording spaces are open 247 for students to record bands and singers, mix records for independent artists, or work on your projects. We support a chapter of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) on campus that enables students to be on the frontline of the sound recording industry, and to get live, hands-on sound experience working University events.
