Overview

OIART's team of audio industry professionals and educational experts — a group boasting over 200 years of collective experience — has spent the last 25 years developing and refining our curriculum.

This experience, plus our long and close relationship with the Audio Industry Advisory Council (AIAC), ensures OIART’s three-term, 11-month program provides you with the most current and in-demand skills and knowledge.

Many other audio programs are unnecessarily broad, meaning you spend more time in school accumulating debt and delaying your career. But after completing your 600 hours of in-studio audio engineering at OIART, you’ll have experience equivalent to two to three years at many institutions.

A pure audio approach

All aspects of OIART's program focus on a single goal — graduating students who with the audio engineering and production skills who are ready to launch professional careers.

Throughout our 11 month program, students regularly practice what they’re learning in faculty-supervised labs of no more than four students. These labs are held in specially equipped teaching studios, designed to perfectly blend theoretical lesson with practical experience.
