The program prerequisites for a Bachelor of Science in Sound Recording and Engineering typically include: High School Diploma (or equivalent): A high school diploma or its equivalent is required, with a strong background in subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Music (if available). Minimum GPA: A minimum GPA (usually around 2.5–3.0 on a 4.0 scale) from high school or previous coursework may be required for admission. Standardized Test Scores (optional in some cases): Some universities may require standardized test scores, such as the SAT or ACT, though this is often optional for specialized programs like sound recording. Proficiency in English (for non-native speakers): Non-native English speakers may be required to demonstrate proficiency in English through tests like TOEFL or IELTS. Music Knowledge (in some cases): While not always required, having basic music theory knowledge or experience in music (either through formal training or personal interest) can be beneficial for students pursuing a sound recording and engineering degree. Portfolio or Audition (optional, depending on the program): Some programs may ask applicants to submit a portfolio of audio work or a sample recording, or even an audition, to demonstrate their interest and aptitude for sound engineering. Technical Skills or Experience (optional): While not strictly a prerequisite, some programs may prefer applicants who have basic knowledge of audio equipment or experience with music production or engineering software. Personal Statement or Essay: A personal statement or essay explaining the applicant’s interest in sound recording and engineering, as well as career goals, may be required.
