Training
•Bullet: BM in Media Scoring and Production pairs a required performance prescreen/audition on the applicant's principal instrument with a dedicated portfolio review (original scores, produced tracks, or arrangements)
•Bullet: Program is designed to prepare composers and producers for media, combining diverse writing assignments (composing, scoring, producing) with recording-studio technical practice
•Bullet: Prospective students are expected to show evidence of writing/production creativity along with basic digital-audio-workstation and music-notation skills
Professional Development
•Bullet: Capstone course MSP 401 requires students to develop and compile a portfolio of creative works — recordings, videos, songs, scores, and other media — showcasing their individual artistry
•Bullet: Portfolio submissions are reviewed independently of the instrumental audition, so scoring/production craft is judged on its own merits
Degree Flexibility
•Bullet: Students choose from three portfolio submission tracks (original scores, produced tracks, or arrangements) to best showcase their strengths going into the application
