Music and Technology
Carnegie Mellon announces a new Bachelor of Science in Music and Technology, offered jointly by the School of Music, the School of Computer Science (SCS) and the Carnegie Institute of Technology (CIT).
This program will consist of a set of courses that span both music and technology, as well as a capstone composition/design/performance project. Courses in all three areas of study are stipulated in the music and technology undergraduate curriculum and provide for students coming from any of the three areas. In other words, regardless of the student’s entry point – an interest in computer science, electrical engineering, or music – the coursework prescribed will allow them to gain the requisite knowledge and experience in all three areas. Students will work closely with advisors and will be guided in both course selection and capstone projects.
The Music and Technology Program will begin in the fall of 2009 and will be offered to a small number of undergraduates who are admitted for undergraduate study independently by the School of Music and either SCS or CIT.
