When you hear great music, do you find yourself wondering how it’s produced? Study sound design at Michigan Tech and you’ll have all the answers. You’ll integrate a crazy-smart mix of music and theatre production with course work in engineering technology and computer science. You’ll also study acoustics, electro-acoustics, electronics, computer applications, mechanical operations, and other disciplines to make sure your training is cutting edge.
Being a sound design major means that you will graduate with significant technical skills, which can lead to careers at companies like Disney and Cirque de Soleil. Start your career as an intern or assistant and then consider grad school. Many graduates then go on to become sound designers for theatre, film, musicals, themed entertainment, or online media, or enjoy careers as recording engineers or live sound mixers.
