Music and Sound Design

DigiPen Institute of Technology ETPL

The Bachelor of Arts in Music and Sound Design offers extensive training in music fundamentals such as music theory, music history and literature, composition, and ear training, as well as training and project work in music technology, audio recording, and technical sound design. Students have the opportunity to work on both individual and team-based projects to produce musical scores and soundscapes for video games, animation, and other interactive media. Through lab courses in each of the eight semesters, these students gain expertise in working with computer software and audio recording hardware that is essential to the sound design and synthesis process. The balance between music fundamentals – including composition, performance, and ear training – and lab and studio recording projects gives the student the technical and creative experience to be a composer/sound designer.
