The final semester of the SRT program is reserved for an off-campus internship where students will receive specialized workplace training with approved professionals in the music, film, broadcast, theatre, or live sound industries.

In addition to taking traditional music courses, SRT majors perform in an ensemble specializing in Rock, Country, and R&B as well as other styles of popular music. Four semesters of individual lessons on wind instruments, brass, percussion, strings, piano, or voice are necessary to satisfy the degree requirements.?
