A music technology degree from Georgia Tech helps you develop both technical and creative skills. Our students pursue a rigorous interdisciplinary course of study that cultivates expertise in music theory, ensemble performance, composition, and production, as well as in engineering, computer science, psychology, and design.

Through project studio courses, our students bring these skills together, working in teams to conceive and create the next musical experiments, algorithms, software, and hardware that will disrupt the music industry. Our alumni have secured coveted jobs as software engineers, hardware engineers, and researchers at companies like Apple, Dolby, Bose, Ableton, Moog, and Spotify.

Our degree programs welcome students with a variety of musical and technical backgrounds: whether you are a concert pianist, a sitar player, a heavy metal guitarist, a composer, or a laptop musician, and whether you are a computer scientist, an engineer, a psychologist, or a designer, you can thrive in our degree programs.

Georgia Tech's music faculty are renowned for research that pushes the boundaries of how we create, perform, understand, and learn about music, and they are passionate about collaborating closely with our students in these endeavors. Our Center for Music Technology is internationally recognized for its work in areas such as robotic musicianship, music informatics, and brain-computer interfaces. Its projects, which attract support from the National Science Foundation and from companies like Google and Gracenote, lead to high-profile academic publications and public performances.

The School's faculty are also engaged in research on gender bias in classical music, on new methods to attract young audiences to the concert hall, and on inclusive curricula that combine music and STEM. Our Women in Music Tech initiative is working both at Georgia Tech and nationally to address the gender gap at all levels of music technology education and practice.
