The Master of Arts program in Audio Sciences was developed in conjunction with members of the professional audio community to provide the technical knowledge and musical skills necessary to work at an advanced level in the field of audio and/or acoustics. The program is intended both for current audio professionals wishing to obtain a post-baccalaureate credential and for individuals with a background in science, technology, and/or music seeking additional training in order to gain employment in the audio industry.

Students entering the program are expected to have a Bachelor's degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Audio Technology, or Music. Undergraduate coursework must include one year of Physics, one year of Calculus, one year of audio fundamentals (the equivalent of Basic Recording I), and basic audio engineering knowledge (the equivalent of Basic Recording II). A background in music which includes courses in Music History, Sightsinging or Solfeggio (moveable or fixed Do), and skills sufficient to enter Music Theory I is also required.
