The B.A. in Audio Engineering in the Digital Media Arts Department at CSUDH is a hands-on, professionally oriented program geared for students who want marketable job skills for careers in studio recording, music technology, live sound reinforcement, and sound design for television, film, and live theatre. Students track, mix, and master their own audio projects for multi-track studio albums, EPK’s, live performance recordings, television documentaries, public service announcements (PSA’s), instructional films, and a variety of client-based projects for nonprofit organizations, community groups, and corporate partners.

The temporary nurse faculty pool is continuously open, and positions are filled as needed, based on student enrollment and funding. Candidates may need to be available to begin teaching on short notice. The Fall term begins in late August and ends in mid-December; the Spring term begins mid-January and ends in mid-May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available.
