The University of Miami was the first American university to offer a four-year undergraduate degree program in Music Engineering. The Music Engineering program is among the University of Miami's most prestigious programs. Undergraduate students from the United States and overseas combine the study of music recording, music theory and performance, electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science in a unique interdisciplinary program. This program also requires proficiency on a musical instrument or voice.

Course work includes studio and live music recording, mixing, post production, digital audio, acoustics, studio design, transducer theory, signal processing, film/video production, and audio design. In addition, students must play in ensembles throughout their four-year stay. Our graduates enjoy a very high placement rate in the professional and consumer audio industries. Many graduates occupy prestigious positions and have achieved great success in their work. For example, as recording engineers, graduates have recorded gold, platinum, and Grammy award-winning albums, and mixed the sound tracks of Oscar-winning motion pictures.
