The commercial music – technology and production associate in art degree begins with a set of core music and technology courses to provide both the conceptual foundation in music theory and the technical foundation in a digital audio workstation to record, sequence, and mix music. Graduates of the commercial music – technology and production program move into all facets of the music and entertainment industries. Graduates prepare a portfolio of work to demonstrate competencies for work as an AV technician, music engineer, music producer, music editor, film composer, and more. Graduates may also transfer to four-year universities, which can prepare them for successful careers at media venues, major and independent record labels, motion picture studios, music production companies, music publishing companies, and music libraries.

To earn an associate in art degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a “C” grade or higher and complete all general education requirements as listed in the catalog. Certain courses may satisfy both major and general education requirements; however the units are only counted once.
