Hi, my name is Simon Hutchinson, I'm Coordinator for Music Technology. And I'd like to tell you a little bit about music and sound recording at the University of New Haven. We're very proud of our liberal arts approach to Music Technology here where we teach existing industry standards alongside skills to think beyond the standards.
So future leaders of Music, Music Industry, Music Technology study together here in a close-knit environment, creating an incubator for creativity and lifelong connections. Our philosophy is that by combining hands-on work in our studios with discussions of theoretical foundations, our students leave the university prepared to be real innovators in the changing media landscape.
To that end, in addition to our core curriculum in Music Technology, we're continuously coming up with courses that examine new and emerging technology. This includes new classes in Game Audio, in Hip Hop Technology and Production, and a variety of examinations on what music means and could mean in society.
We offer two degrees in Music and Sound Recording a BA and a BS. The recording classes in these two degrees are the same, you'll be taking the same studio courses with us. What's different is that students in the BS take courses at the College of Engineering, studying calculus, electronics, circuits, and other technical skills to support their work. Students in the BA, on the other hand, have more electives and can use these electives to pursue minors or other interests such as Accounting, Digital Media, Communications, and Marketing.
We're thrilled to offer a number of opportunities off-campus including internships, the study away program in Nashville, and student work at Powerstation New England. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at shutchinson@newhaven.edu. We wish you the very best of luck with your decision.
