After initial coursework across audio disciplines, you’ll focus your studies in one concentration. Your classroom experience will mirror professional practices, and you’ll work on real projects that you can show to prospective employers. Courses like Introduction to Audio and Fundamentals of Audio Production will introduce you to how we perceive sound and to the essential principles of audio systems. You’ll learn the essential principles of audio systems in theory- and lab-based courses where you’ll practice the basic techniques of recording, editing, and mixing. Depending on your concentration, you might sharpen your skills in advanced classes on digital consoles, monitor mixing, or design an audiovisual system. Or you can work on a capstone project, which may include recording and producing songs for musicians, designing sound for visual media or other applications, or creating portfolio works in the areas of sound art, software/hardware design, or data sonification.
