More so than in many other academic disciplines, the practical aspects of Audio Technology require a focus on the facilities of the Program. A primary objective of the degree is to train audio engineers in the operation of recording devices; it is essential that our students work with well-maintained industry standard equipment.

The Audio Technology Program is housed in a 2200 square foot studio complex designed by the Walters-Storyk Design Group, one of the premiere studio design firms in the country. Other facilities at 麻豆视频作品 that continue to be utilized by Audio Technology students consist of four performance spaces and a shared multi-station classroom.
