Tour - The Graduate Degree in Music Engineering |
|
Undergraduate
Degree Graduate Degree Facilities
|
 The University of Miami was the first American university
to offer a Master of Science degree in Music Engineering Technology. This
two-year multi-disciplinary curriculum consists of graduate coursework in
electrical engineering, digital audio, psychoacoustics and the psychology
of music. Generally, this degree program is provided for students who seek
employment with software or hardware design companies and companies involved
in digital audio technology.
Only students with a BSEE degree or equivalent degree are accepted for admission in this program. Students with an undergraduate degree in music engineering from the University of Miami or another institution must complete additional coursework in electrical engineering. Proficiency on a music instrument is not required for this degree. Graduate students in the program must complete a thesis on a topic of their choosing. This project is pursued under the supervision of a faculty member in the Music Engineering program. Graduate Research
Employment Master's degree graduates generally work for audio companies as audio software or hardware designers. Demand for these students is generally very high. In some cases, they choose to work in recording studios, or start their own companies. In other cases, students choose to pursue further graduate work, for example, pursuing a doctoral degree. This is a partial list of companies that have employed our Master of Science graduates: Analog Devices, Apple Computer, Boston Acoustics, Cirrus Logic, Creative Labs, Digidesign, Dolby Laboratories, Microsoft, Motorola, National Semiconductor, Niles Audio, Real Networks, Shure, Sonic Foundry, Spatializer, Texas Instruments, and others.

The research projects
completed by the Master of Science students cover a wide range of cutting
edge topics. Very generally, projects use software design to explore facets
of audio theory or practice. All research is completed under the supervision
of a faculty member and culminates in a research paper and thesis presentation.
In many cases, this research leads directly to employment offers from
audio manufacturers seeking employees with expertise in these areas. Several
of these papers have been presented in technical papers sessions in Audio
Engineering Society conventions. Our collection of graduate research
