Music Technology

Program Description

If you’re interested in music production and engineering, consider studying Music Technology. Music technology includes any secondary device, mechanism, machine, or tool that is used to make, record, perform or modify music. The U’s School of Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), ensuring that you will receive the top-notch education you need to excel in your field.

As a student of this program, you will learn the theoretical knowledge and technical skills needed to help you employ technology in your work as a musician or in a related professional field. We offer a Certificate in Music Technology for students already admitted into one of the Majors in the School of Music—BMus or BA—and a Music Technology Minor for all other students enrolled at the U.

The two options consist of music technology courses offered by the School of Music and music-related electives from scientific fields. Example offerings include computer science and programming, computers and the arts, and the physics of audio and video. The Music Tech Minor also incorporates experiences in music performance and music electives, things already included in the music degrees.
