The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Music Technology is designed for students who aspire to revolutionize the way we create, perform, and interact with music and sound.
Working in a collaborative network of creative peers, students build a strong foundation in music and audio, upon which they delve deeper into specialized areas such as programming, electronic circuit design, real-time audio processing, and AI-driven music composition and production. Students study UI and UX design to create intuitive and engaging user experiences for music software and hardware, as they develop practical project and product management skills, collaborating with artists and technologists on innovative projects.
In their final year, students will lead a capstone project that synthesizes their technical and creative skills. This project will serve as a key component of their portfolio, demonstrating their ability to manage and execute complex music technology projects. Graduates will leave the program equipped with the knowledge and experience to lead the next wave of innovation in the music technology industries, ready to create the future of music technology.
Students successfully completing this major will be able to:
• Design Custom Sound Systems: Create and modify hardware and software for music production, sound design, and live performance.
• Develop Interactive Sound Environments: Build responsive sound installations that interact with users in real time using sensors, AI, and immersive technologies.
• Innovate in Audio Technology: Apply advanced coding, electronics, and interface design to build tools that extend the possibilities of sound manipulation and composition.
• Create Immersive Experiences: Utilize sound spatialization, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) to craft immersive audio experiences for entertainment and art.
• Lead Complex Music Tech Projects: Manage the development and execution of multi-disciplinary projects that involve teams of artists, engineers, and technologists.
• Integrate AI and Machine Learning: Use AI for real-time music generation, adaptive soundscapes, and intelligent audio systems that respond to user input.
