Modern theatre, documentary movies, video games—music composition for the entertainment industry has evolved. Study it all with Michigan Tech’s innovative Music Composition minor (FAMC).
Musician, Composer, and Sound Designer David Brown
The program combines traditional studies in music theory and orchestration with current sound design and audio production technologies. Learn about composition for live theatre, documentary and industrial film, digital arts, video games, and more.
- Don’t just read about it—at Michigan Tech, you’ll perform, create, and compose. Our courses are specially designed to prepare you for your career, not just for a degree.
- Earn elective credit by joining one of Michigan Tech’s acclaimed musical groups: Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra, Superior Wind Symphony, Jazz Lab Band, Concert Choir, or our crowd-rousing Pep Band. (Auditions required for all groups.)
- Enhance your academic experience by joining Mu Beta Psi, the national honorary musical fraternity—meet other creative students, create great music with one another, give back to the community by offering music classes, and more.
