Audio Production

The Audio Production degree begins with the development of the fundamental skills needed in the fields of audio production, music recording and sound engineering and gradually advances towards the procurement of an audio based portfolio and capstone internship. Aimed at individuals interested in securing work primarily as sound engineers in a variety of media-related fields, this two-year program covers audio recording, mixing, live sound and audio-visual sound design. Also, students will learn the nuts and bolts of studio maintenance and repair, fundamentals of music theory for more effective communication with recording artists and the essentials of the music business as needed for managing a career in the field of audio production, music recording and sound engineering.
