The Music Technology degree prepares students to develop new technologies for the music industry and related sectors through a combination of rigorous professional training in music with intensive interdisciplinary study in electrical engineering, computer engineering, design, and arts entrepreneurship.
Note that this is not a program in music production, sound engineering, or music editing. Instead, it is intended for students preparing for commercial or entrepreneurial careers in music/audio hardware design, software or app development, consumer electronics, music streaming services, and multidimensional audio at companies like Apple, Moog, Ableton, and Samsung. Our goal is to train you to be inventors and designers of new music technologies, rather than users of existing technology.
Since musicians are the end users of the products you will be developing, it is important for you to be trained in music as well: how it works; how it is composed, performed, and heard; and how to explain its historical and technological progress. This is to help you integrate and communicate a range of musical styles, performance practices, and creative projects with the design, development, and implementation of advanced music technologies.
This major requires a mixed-media portfolio that demonstrates your musical performance abilities, knowledge and application of music technology, and written descriptions of the inspiration and/or methodology for each portfolio piece. Applicants must also submit an essay of 300-500 words that describes their musical journey and includes a detailed explanation of a musical technology product and its application. Please see the Music Technology admissions page for important details regarding your portfolio and essay submissions. Program is Fall entry only.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility. Major will require additional semesters at NC State beyond Senior year. Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
