The B.A. in Audio Engineering at CSUDH is a hands-on, professionally-oriented program geared for students who want marketable job skills for careers in music recording, live sound reinforcement, audio post production, and sound design for film, television, and related media industries. Students produce, track, mix, and master their own recordings in the studio and on location. The mission of the Audio Engineering degree is to Provide an academic program that gives students a solid base in the theory and technology skills required for professional careers in the audio and sound design industry; Provide hands-on experience in the basic software and hardware tools utilized in music recording, live sound reinforcement, audio post production, and sound design for film, television, and related media industries; Provide the opportunity for students to work in teams, applying their producing, tracking, mixing, mastering and engineering skills to produce a variety of professional-quality products; Develop interpersonal skills and professional demeanor that will enable students to work effectively and cooperatively as team players on collaborative projects in the industry. The Audio Engineering curriculum emphasizes collaborative teamwork among the students in the Digital Media Arts Department. For example, Film &Television students will write, produce, film, and edit a television documentary or short movie that our Audio Engineering students then take over to perform the sound design elements of ADR, foley, and sound effects editing, while our music composer students compose, arrange, and record original music scores for the film’s soundtrack. Conversely, our Audio Engineering students record and produce a band’s song while the Film & Television students film and edit the music video of the song as well as the bonus material such as interviews with the band and behind-the scenes “making of” footage for the interactive DVD, Blu-ray, or website, The Audio Engineering degree
