The Music & Technology and Electronic Music majors combine the areas of music, electronics and computer science, with a primary emphasis on music. Hands-on courses provide training in electronic music composition, sound design, music business and promotion, songwriting, audio recording and engineering, and live performance. Both programs are designed for students who intend to transfer to baccalaureate institutions; however, upon completion of the Associate degree in this discipline, many individuals start their own electronic music studios, where they record music for videos, films, or individual artists, as well as compose their own music on electronic instruments. Completion of a Bachelor's degree in the fields expand career opportunities to include performer, producer, song-writing, recording engineer, and sound engineer. Software companies also hire Electronic Music graduates to develop and test new electronic equipment ranging from synthesizers to software packages.
