Diploma
Program in Recording
Audio
The primary educational goal of the
Recording/Audio Engineering Program is to teach
the operation of professional recording and
sound reinforcement equipment, as well as to
prepare the Student for the many aspects of the
music industry as we know it today. This will
include theory, music history, the music
industry, songwriting, publishing, copyrighting,
and business communications.
The education is provided through a combination
of lecture classes and in-studio experience,
with an emphasis on the "hands-on"
training portion of the program. Students will
actually participate in the recording of musical
artists and bands, performing the tasks of
everything from controlling the consoles to
doing the final mix-down for the finished
recorded product. Students will also learn how
to do remote recording, commercial production
work, tape editing, dubbing, live sound
reinforcement, and a variety of other tasks that
relate to the recording industry.
Curriculum for the Recording/Audio Engineering
Program is designed to accommodate a wide
variety of backgrounds. From the young person
just graduating from high school with little or
no musical background or experience, to the
veteran musician who may already have studio
recording experience.
The Diploma Program is 28 semester credit hours.
The program requires two fifteen week semesters
to complete. Classes are offered in both the day
and evening for your convenience.
