Music Technology
Master of Music Technology
The Master of Music in Music Technology builds on the foundation of an undergraduate music degree by offering three tracks: Education, Composition, and Production. Each track is designed to equip graduate students with hardware and software technologies used in the field of music today. It is the only such program in Eastern Pennsylvania approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
This program emphasizes musical and technical skills needed by creative artists and communicators, along with current research and technology. Much of the program can be completed through distance learning. Educators, worship leaders, practicing performers, and composers alike will benefit from the training this degree provides.
The program may be completed in 33 credit hours total. The degree may be earned in three summers or in a traditional two-year approach. Each course is 3 credit hours except applied-performance courses, which vary from 1 to 2 credits each.
University of Valley Forge’s facilities include a twenty-four track digital audio recording studio, SD and HD broadcast studios, a sixteen-station video editing lab, a fifteen-station audio production suite, and a multimedia production room.
