Audio Engineering is an immersive, experienced-based, hands-on major that gives students a broad set of skills from studio recording, live audio, and lighting design through state-of-the-art recording studios and performance venues.
Hands-on, practical experience from the day you begin your degree!
Be a studio recording engineer, or run live sound or lighting for concerts. Stream live performances. Produce audio for TV, movies, or video games. GU has the resources you need to perfect your skills!
The Audio Engineering degree encompasses studio recording, live audio production, lighting design, an understanding of the Music Industry, and how each area comes together for a common goal. You will also learn more about advanced Audio Post Production and Game Audio Design to expand your engineering skills further. Earn a wide range of certifications within the classes too!
Projects Courses let you engage in any area of interest, at any level, in any semester. Projects classes create small production companies and create a team of Producer, Main Studio Engineer, multiple assistant studio engineers, and multiple performers. Or, work in a live audio team (GUAudio) for all live audio and lighting design needs. Either way (or both!), you function just like a small independent production company and gain real-world experience.
AND THERE'S MORE! Study the music industry for a semester in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, with GU’s Contemporary Music Center - Nashville and get immersive industry experiences. Get personalized attention from caring professors and industry pros committed to making you the best you can be.
Graduates from GU have worked at major companies like Universal Music Group, innovative companies like CTS, and in-house teams at large companies like the production team at Ramsey Solutions. We have GU grads living in all of the major music hubs in the US.
