Audio Engineering Technology (B.A. or B.S.)
Audio Engineering Technology (AET)
The AET program is designed to study, investigate, and contribute to the art, science, and practical application of audio engineering. Graduates of the program are prepared to seek careers in the application, installation, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of audio and music recording, reproduction, processing, and reinforcement systems. Students of the AET program complete the B.S. or B.A. degree with a major in audio engineering technology and a minor in a career related discipline.
