Music Technology (BS): Electronics & Circuits Concentration
The undergraduate major in Music Technology is an interdisciplinary program that provides aÌýfoundation of theoretical and practical skills in music and electrical and computer engineeringÌýto prepare students to design, develop, and implement advanced music technologies. InÌýaddition to a variety of supporting courses, it has three primary components: a musicianshipÌýcore (29 hours including applied and ensemble study); an engineering core (26 hours includingÌýcalculus and physics); and a music technology core (18 hours). All students will complete a two-semester senior design project.
Students pursuing the Electronics and Circuits concentration will take anÌýadditional 10 hours of engineering courses focusing on the design of electronic systems.
