Area Arts College to Offer Bachelor Degree Program in Audio and Media Technology
- (March 7, 2003)
The New England Institute of Art & Communications today announced it has received approval from the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education to offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Audio and Media Technology.
"This is a tremendous step forward for the College and for our students," says Tom Dyer, Dean of Education. "We offer associate's degree programs in Audio Production, but this allows our students a unique opportunity to hone and refine their skills, take more business-oriented, math and science classes and spend more time on internships and in the studio, doing hands-on training."
Two concentrations will be offered as part of the bachelor's degree program; Audio Production and Audio and Video Technology. Students opting to concentrate in Audio Production "will learn the skills necessary for entry-level careers in sound recording for music and speech applications, in corporate audio/visual, digital post production, digital editing and for Internet and multimedia applications," says Rob Lehmann, Department Chair.
For those seeking careers on the repair and maintenance side, the Audio and Video Technology concentration will give them the necessary skills to seek entry-level positions in this field.
This is the third bachelor's degree program offered by the 50-year old college, joining programs in Graphic Design and Multimedia & Web Design. The College also offers associate's degree programs in radio or television. And the College "will continue to offer an associate's degree program in Audio Production," adds Dyer.
