The Bachelor of Science in Music Technology is an interdisciplinary degree between Music and Technology degrees (e.g., Electrical and Computer Engineering). Students gain musical training through a musicianship core, applied musical instrument study, and a musical ensemble study. In parallel, students receive technical training through their core Math, Science, and technical concentration courses. Lastly, students combine these two through practical Music Technology courses that train students on the technical concepts for music and audio. Students receive training in the fundamentals of Acoustics, Psychoacoustics, Analog & Digital Audio technology, Musical Technology design, and algorithms. The plan concludes with the students fulfilling their core requirements, a senior design capstone project, and a music recital that has a technology component.
This plan will prepare students for a career designing and building electronic musical instruments, professional audio devices, sound systems for consumer devices, and software for music production and consumption.
