DigiPen will be offering two new degrees in Sound Design for Fall 2012. A Bachelor of Arts in Music and Sound Design, and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering and Sound Design. It sounds as if they have some great people associated with the program “Dr. Richard Karpen, Director of the University of Washington’s School of Music, Guy Whitmore, Audio Director at PopCap Games, Inc., and Martin O’Donnell, Audio Lead at Bungie“.
However I still wonder if they will use my classes or books (it has been a long time since I left Redmond for Cupertino). I really miss teaching my Audio Synthesis and Data Compression classes at DigiPen. I had a wonderful experience with the talented students.
These new programs should improve the already rich curriculum.
