Music Technology (BMT)
Overview

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Music Technology equips students to utilize musicianship skills, composition, live audio production, studio production, computer science, electrical engineering, software development, and digital/electronic instrument construction skills in a variety of music production-focused professions. Students are prepared for strategic positions in live and studio environments, post-production, composition, and digital/electronic instrument construction.

All four-year Johnson students complete two majors: one in Bible and Theology and one in their chosen field, such as Music Technology. Transfer students with substantial prior coursework may complete a reduced set of Bible and Theology requirements instead of the major. Learn more about the Bible and Theology curriculum here.
