Bachelor of Arts in Music and Technology

Music and Technology students will gain not only the skills and technological aptitude necessary for any actively engaged musician, but cultivate an insight into the mutually dependent nature of music and technology. With such insight, our students actively engage the critical thinking necessary to implement creative and technical innovation in music.

All Music and Technology students will complete a rigorous curriculum that will include courses in music theory, history, composition, production, sound design, electronic music, instrumental proficiency and technological innovation. The curriculum will prepare the student for a future within a field in which creative innovation and technological implementation is a critical requisite. The Music and Technology major at Stevens is focused on providing a well-balanced course of study that will prepare the student for the ever-increasing demands of today’s musicians.
