The Entertainment Technologies program provides formal entertainment production training with a focus on sound recording, concert lighting, electronic music production and marketing/promotion. Employment opportunities will include entry-level crew and/or production assistants in concert or event setups, with recording companies, or sound/lighting companies in addition to preparing you to manage your career (or others’ careers) in the sound/lighting area or professional music entertainment.
Overall employment of broadcast, sound, and video technicians is projected to grow 9 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Growth is expected to stem from businesses, schools, and entertainment industries seeking to improve their audio and video capabilities. They will need technicians to set up, operate, and maintain equipment. About 15,900 openings for broadcast, sound, and video technicians are projected each year, on average, over the decade.
Students will need access to a computer to complete work outside the classroom. In addition to textbooks, students will be required to provide their own portable storage media for most classes.
