Music Technology (MS)

About this programme

Technology has always driven cultural and social transformations in the manner in which we make, perform, distribute and listen to music. Recent technological developments in areas such as artificial intelligence, brain and cognitive science, robotics, education and networking have fundamentally changed musical practices and created a need in the industry and academia for well-educated music and audio technologists able to design, develop, and creatively employ the next generation of musical software and hardware for composition, performance, recording and distribution. The Georgia Tech School of Music’s Master of Science in Music Technology program prepares students for careers in professional software, hardware and audio companies, the arts and entertainment industries, as well as in the education/academic markets. This interdisciplinary degree program enables students to extend their skills in areas such as music, computing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and industrial design, all within in a research-focused program that emphasizes the intersections between technical innovation and creative practice.
