Recording Arts Track

The Department of Communcation is proud to present its newest emphasis within the Electronic Media Communication major: Recording Arts!

We created the Recording Arts track specifically for students interested in the technical craft of recording music, live sound reinforcement and the music industry.
 

Why Recording Arts?

  • Business – Students will be experts in artist and road management, business plans, touring, marketing and radio/video promotion.
  • Tech – Students will learn the ins and outs of the recording process from recording to editing, mixing and post-production.
