The Sound Design Certificate offers students with previous experience in sound (particularly those who have completed the Sound Production Fundamentals Certificate) an opportunity to develop advanced skills, technique, and theory in sound design and production. Students will gain advanced technical skills in mixing, design, and mastering, as well as expand their creative skills in using sound as a medium for art and communication.

This program is based out of the School of Visual & Media Arts, and is in partnership with Schools of the College of the Arts & Media.
