The Audio Technology Program program at American University focuses on both the art and the science of audio and music technology. With our strong core courses in Sound Synthesis, Multi-track Audio Production, Digital Audio Workstations, Electronics, and Physics, we are unique in our approach to blending the art and science in audio in the context of an educational program—please see more about what we do in our Student Resources and News/Events sections.
The program's close association with the Departments of Computer Science, Physics, and Performing Arts allows students to explore different aspects of the discipline, including practical work experience, while our active working relationship with the School of Communication enables students to gain practical experience as well as further interdisciplinary perspectives. Started in the late seventies, the program continues to grow a comprehensive curriculum, with over fifty majors and a fifteen percent increase in enrollment each of the past two years.
