Бакалавр искусств по музыкальной продукции

Focuses on the study of 20th and 21st-century popular music. Tailor your studies, by selecting from one of three specialization tracks: general, performance and songwriting.

From jazz and country to rock and roll and hip-hop, our atypical music program explores music from The Beatles and Radiohead to pop and hip-hop geniuses, like Ariana Grande and Cardi B, and blends hands-on learning to provide students with a well-versed knowledge of theory, history and culture in popular music.

The B.A. in Music Production provides students with the skills necessary to make music at every step of the process. Students will take courses that help them germinate ideas for songs, flesh them out in arrangements, work fluidly in digital software, generate their own unique sounds through digital synthesis, and apply mixing techniques that make their songs ready to be shared with the world.

The Music Production B.A. grounds all of this work in an understanding of popular music theory and an exploration of the social and political histories of popular music, fostering well-rounded, deeply knowledgeable musicians. Music Production students are also encouraged to take courses in departments across the university that cover skills in radio, podcasting, and multimedia, as well as music publishing and other aspects of the music industry. The degree culminates in a capstone project or internship where the student applies all that they’ve learned in a self-directed study or a work environment in their future field.
