Education: Best place for Audio Engineering?


I'm currecntly an undergrad student at the University of Kentucky with a amjor of electrical engineering (and minors in
mechanical engineering and math). I'm very interested in audio
engineering-particularly speaker design- and it has been my goal all along to do graduate work in the audio engineering field. However, I can't really find universities offering programs in the field. There are a great number of professionals in the audio engineering field, and surely these professionals are receiving some type of specialized education
in the field. I'm just wondering, is there some sort of educational haven for audio engineering that I'm just not aware of? Or do people simply do things like interships with corporations? I simply have no idea where to start!

Thanks for your input,

Nicholas,

When the world was a larger place,you went where the specialists were congregated. Study automibles? Go Big Ten school close to Detroit. Motion pictures? Go Southern Cal close to Hollywood.

Now that the world is smaller,the best research and researchers are a few mouse clicks away.

Allow me to suggest that finding a school where you are comfortable,where your faculty advisor(s) will allow you to persue the work you want to do is important.

Internships? Post grad employment? What are the three speakers you respect the most? E mail their r and d departments and ask them what you've asked us.

Best wishes.
