The Bachelor of Science in Sound Engineering (Curriculum D) is designed for those students who demonstrates abilities in both music and engineering and are interested in sound reinforcement, sound recording, and audio equipment research and design.
Pre-college Preparation:
Experience in performance (both traditional and technologically enhanced and a high level of proficiency in an acoustic instrument) and music theory with strong aptitude in mathematics, physics, and computer programming, and prior experience with multitrack recording and sound reinforcement.
The Bachelor of Science in Sound Engineering requires an academic GPA of 3.5, an SAT math subscore of 630 or better, or an ACT math subscore of 28 or better.
Curriculum
- Four terms of music theory including the study of the structure of primarily tonal music through ear-training and sight-singing, written work in construction and composition, and musical analysis
- Six credits of musicology exploring European and American music history, as well as the sounds and concepts of many world music traditions
- Two terms of elementary piano study
- Thirty credit hours of coursework in Performing Arts Technology including Seminar in the Media Arts, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Introduction to Computer Music, Computer Music Composition & Arranging, Sound Reinforcement, Sound Recording & Production I and II, Sound for Theatre, Technical Ear Training and Critical Listening, and Contemporary Practices in Studio Production I and II
- Senior Thesis or Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) 452
