BA Digital Culture in Music

The School of Arts, Media and Engineering offers a first of its kind BA in digital culture. The degree is for students who are interested in helping shape the future creative uses of digital technology in our day-to-day lives. Digital culture majors learn to go beyond merely using digital tools; they develop the ability to program media and integrate computational systems with everyday physical human experience. This dynamic curriculum not only prepares students with tangible skills in cultural media but also with the critical-thinking skills needed that enable the understanding of the broader impact of technologies on life and culture.Students complementing their knowledge of digital culture with discipline-specific courses in the School of Music focus on understanding the foundations, historical and theoretical structures of commercial and popular music, and the principles of electronic music composition and digital sound.
