Are you curious about how sound shapes our world—from music and media to memory, identity, and technology? A minor in Sound Studies invites you to explore the rich, often overlooked role that sound plays in culture, communication, and everyday life.
Sound studies is a vibrant, interdisciplinary field that explores the cultural, historical, technological, and sensory dimensions of sound. It invites you to listen more deeply—not just to music, but to the everyday noises, voices, silences, and vibrations that shape our world.
Because Sound Studies is always interdisciplinary, this minor blends insights from English Studies, Communications, History, Music, Theatre, and more. You'll learn to think critically about sound—not just as something we hear, but as something we feel, design, and interpret.
