New Major at Georgia Tech

It is possible to be a musician, artist, inventor, and engineer all in one. Georgia Tech’s newest major, the Bachelor of Science in Music Technology, encourages just that. This program provides the interconnectivity between music and the engineering disciplines for which Georgia Tech is known. Music technology is an industry with projected growth rates of 225% nationally and 250% in Georgia over the next five to seven years. In addition, it receives more NSF grant money than many top 10 programs. Over the next four years, the program hopes to grow to 60 undergraduate students. The program will be the first to require a portfolio and faculty review as part of the 2017 application process.
