Finances
A head start on your career The real cost of your
education is not just tuition, but also includes living expenses
and lost income for each year spent in school. OIART’s eleven-month
program accelerates your career in audio engineering, giving you
an advantage of one or two years over your peers in equivalent
two or three-year programs. OIART students
simultaneously save years of tuition fees and living expenses,
and gain years of productive employment in the audio and sound
engineering industries – a difference of as much as $60,000:
